An O: the Oprah Magazine Best Book of 2017 'Khong is a magician ...
Brilliant' Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies 'Khong's first
novel sneaks up on you - just like life, illness and heartbreak.
And love. A million small, human and often deeply funny details
gather force to tell a tale that is ultimately, incredibly
poignant' Miranda July, author of The First Bad Man Ruth is thirty
and her life is falling apart: she and her fiance are moving house,
but he's moving out to live with another woman; her career is going
nowhere; and then she learns that her father, a history professor
beloved by his students, has Alzheimer's. At Christmas, her mother
begs her to stay on and help. For a year. Goodbye, Vitamin is the
wry, beautifully observed story of a woman at a crossroads, as Ruth
and her friends attempt to shore up her father's career; she and
her mother obsess over the ambiguous health benefits - in the
absence of a cure - of dried jellyfish supplements and vitamin
pills; and they all try to forge a new relationship with the
brilliant, childlike, irascible man her father has become. 'A
beautifully written debut, dreamy and funny ... flawless'
Independent 'Biting, funny and poignant and makes you wish you'd
thought of writing it first' Stylist, '50 Unmissable Books' 'Like a
chain of fairy lights in the darkness' Financial Times 'One of the
funniest elegiac novels I have ever read' David Leavitt, author of
The Lost Language of Cranes
