This Book Will Save Your Life Paperback - 2007
by A. M. Homes
Richard Novak is functionally dead and doesn't even notice until two incidents conspire to hurl him back into the world, in this novel about compassion, transformation, and what can happen if one is open to the world.
Summary
Since her debut in 1989, A. M. Homes has been among the boldest and most original voices of her generation, acclaimed for the psychological accuracy and unnerving emotional intensity of her storytelling. Her ability to explore how extraordinary the ordinary can be is at the heart of her touching and funny new novel, her first in six years. This Book Will Save Your Life is a vivid, uplifting, and revealing story about compassion, transformation, and what can happen if you are willing to lose yourself and open up to the world around you.
