Let Go My Hand

A humane, humorous, and ultimately extremely moving novel. A darkly comic, deeply moving, and thoroughly modern father-son love story. Funny, moving, disturbing, and beautifully written. Tremendously moving, fiercely intelligent, and very, very funny.

Louis Lasker loves his family dearly, apart from when he doesn't. There's a lot of history: his father's marriages, his mother's death; one brother in exile, another in denial; everything said, everything unsaid. And now his father has taken a decision that threatens to blow the family apart. We join the Laskers for what might be their final days together. One last chance to fix things. It's a matter of life and death.
