All My Puny Sorrows

Shortlisted for the Folio Prize 2015 & Wellcome Book Prize 2015. Yoli and Elf are two loving, smart sisters. Elf is a world renowned pianist, glamorous, wealthy, happily married; she wants to die. Yoli is divorced, broke, sleeping with the wrong men; she desperately wants to keep her older sister alive. When Elf's latest suicide attempt leaves her hospitalized weeks before her highly anticipated world tour, Yoli is forced to confront the impossible question of whether it is better to let a loved one go. Tender, unquiet, at times even desperately humorous, All My Puny Sorrows offers a profound reflection on the limits of love.
