'Profoundly moving. An astonishing book, a true work of art' Max
Porter, author of Grief is the Thing with Feathers From the
critically acclaimed author of The Vagrants, a devastating and
utterly original novel on grief and motherhood 'Days: the easiest
possession. The days he had refused would come, one at a time. They
would wait, every daybreak, with their boundless patience and
indifference, seeing if they could turn me into an ally or an enemy
to myself.' A woman's teenage son takes his own life. It is
incomprehensible. The woman is a writer, and so she attempts to
comprehend her grief in the space she knows best: on the page, as
an imagined conversation with the child she has lost. He is as
sharp and funny and serious in death as he was in life itself, and
he will speak back to her, unable to offer explanation or solace,
but not yet, not quite, gone. Where Reasons End is an extraordinary
portrait of parenthood, in all its painful contradictions of joy,
humour and sorrow, and of what it is to lose a child. 'A
masterpiece. This book haunts me more than any other novel I've
read in recent years' Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to
You 'Heart-wrenching, fearless, and unlike anything you've ever
read' Esquire 'I sit here shaken and, I think, changed by this
work' Katherine Boo, author of Behind the Beautiful Forevers 'A
devastating read, but also a tender one, filled with love,
complexity, and a desire for understanding' Nylon 'The most
intelligent, insightful, heart-wrenching book of our time' Sean
Andrew Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less 'Captures the
affections and complexity of parenthood in a way that has never
been portrayed before' The Millions 'Ethereal and electric,
radiating unthinkable pain and profound love' Buzzfeed
