Overview

A powerful novel set in a world turned upside down - where doctors try to save babies from their parents, police use the law to tear a family apart, and the people you know the best end up surprising you the most.'If you don't belong to a book club, Darin Strauss's bitter and brilliant new novel is reason enough to start one.'Washington PostJosh Goldin is savouring a Friday afternoon break in the office coffee room, harmlessly flirting with colleagues as he anticipates the weekend at home with his wife, Dori, and their eight-month-old son, Zack.Then his secretary joins them, saying, 'Uh, Mr Goldin . . . Your wife left a voice message. It's, um, it's Zack . . .'And Josh's life is suddenly changed . . .'More Than It Hurts You will dominate the conversation like nothing has since the Corrections . . . Strauss hits you where you live.'GQ'This book is harrowing, hurtling, heartbreaking and - more than anything - devastatingly accurate. Darin Strauss . . . has created characters whose complexities and dark motivations - though they are always hidden from each other, and even sometimes from themselves - are never hidden from their author. This is a brilliant, sharp, suspenseful novel, impossible to turn your gaze form.'Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
