A tale of the impact of circumstance and fate on identity follows the interconnected lives of a little boy who is attacked by his mother's dog, a pregnant teenager who admits herself to a maternity home, a young man who considers a drug-dealing career, and a child who disappears from his grandmother's backyard. By the author of Among the Missing.

Review:

Chaon's achievement is to rescue his characters from oblivion and make their lives seen as real as our own (New York Times Book Review)

Brilliantly written American debut about the lives of two separated brothers. (The Bookseller)

Hypnotic ... haunting ... A lovely, insinuating book with a special staying power (New York Times Book Review)

Remarkable ... Chaon has written an apparently claustrophobic novel that feels paradoxically large, generous and, ultimately, quite moving (Washington Post)

A remarkable debut novel that avoids grand statements but says plenty about America today ... Chaon's prose is precisely formulated and his observations of life are acute ... "You Remind Me of Me" is a beautifully written exploration of the emotional paths chosen by rootless people desperate to hold on (Literary Review)

Mesmerising ... "You Remind Me of Me" imparts a deeply moving empathy for lives gone sorely awry, its eventual optimism arrived at carefully enough so as not to betray its appreciation of life's hardships (The Times)

A heartbreakingly beautiful look at the architecture of thwarted desire and the rampant destruction that minor incidents can wreak upon the seemingly most ordinary of lives. (The Spectator)

'Gritty, moving and memorable' (Daily Mail)

'Dan Chaon explores fundamental questions of identity and belonging in a story that successfully negotiates the fine line between touching and slushy' (Guardian)

'Admirable' (Metro)
