About the Book
From Adam Thirlwell, two-time winner of the Granta Award for Best British Novelists, comes a deeply personal and illuminating novel about a writer, his mysterious illness, and the family secrets that upend his understanding of his parents and of his own role as a father.
Adam is a writer and father whose life is upended by a mysterious, permanent migraine and by the resurfacing of a family betrayal that shattered his parents’ marriage. As Adam struggles to understand his illness, his father’s infidelity, his mother’s suffering, and what to tell his own daughter, the novel is an emotionally devastating and surprisingly humorous story of secrecy, survival, and inherited trauma—both physical and emotional.
