Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

When Margaret's fianc� is hospital�ized for depression, she faces a choice: carry on with their planned marriage, or back away. She decides to marry him.

Imagine Me Gone is the unforgettable story of what unfolds from this act of love. At its heart is the couple's eldest son, Michael, a brilliant, anxious music fanatic who makes sense of the world through parody. Over the decades, his younger siblings-savvy, responsible Celia and sensitive, meticulous Alec-struggle along with their mother to care for Michael's increasingly troubled and precarious existence.

Weaving together the voices of its five central characters, this bittersweet yet frequently funny novel brings alive the love of a mother for her chil�dren, the inescapable devotion of siblings, and the legacy of a father's pain in the life of a family. It asks the ultimate question: how far will we go to save the people we love the most?

Combining masterful vision with intimate humanity, Adam Haslett proves himself to be one of the most exciting American novelists of his generation.
