Love can save us. It can also undo us.
When Margaret’s fiancé, John, is hospitalized for depression in 1960s London, she faces an impossible choice: walk away or stand beside him through whatever comes. She chooses love, and that decision shapes the lives of their three children for decades to come.
Their eldest son, Michael, brilliant and anxious, filters the world through music and wit while his siblings, Celia and Alec, navigate the emotional weight of his illness. Together, they form a family bound by fierce devotion and fragile hope.
From Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Adam Haslett, Imagine Me Gone is a profoundly moving portrait of inheritance, resilience, and the beautiful, heartbreaking cost of loving someone you cannot save.
