i bought this after attending bobby's author panel at trafalgar last night, and the way he spoke about this book, about the complicated tangle of love and tenderness with anger, put under the microscope of the innate temporality of human existence, was exactly what this work strives to do. definitely a tearjerker!! though i feel like the exploration of jack's relationship with his father, especially the fraughtness of it in the context of his memory loss, was overshadowed a little by the plot of trying to find him. still a great read!
