The part about the suicide seemed personal to me but I understood more when I read the afterword. My cousin (who was like a brother to me) committed suicide over forty years ago, leaving behind a wife and three children, one of whom was only 3 weeks old. It was devastating! And I was torn between extreme grief and extreme anger. It took years for me to work through it. Now just a lingering sadness remains.
But I loved the story! And The Dead Romantics also! You are such a gifted writer and I love how you inject a little magic into your books!
