Short listed for the Richard & Judy Book Club 2007.An uplifting
story set in Los Angeles about one man's effort to bring himself
back to life. Richard is a modern day everyman; a middle-aged
divorcee trading stocks out of his home. He has done such a good
job getting his life under control that he needs no one. His life
has slowed almost to a standstill, until two incidents conspire to
hurl him back into the world. One day he wakes up with a knotty
cramp in his back, which rapidly develops into an all-consuming
pain. At the same time a wide sinkhole appears outside his living
room window, threatening the foundations of his house. A vivid
novel about compassion and transformation, This Book Will Save Your
Life reveals what can happen if you are willing to open up to the
world around you. 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 keen 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.
