About this book
With his stunning debut novel, She's Come Undone, Wally Lamb won the adulation of critics and readers with his mesmerizing tale of one woman's painful yet triumphant journey of self-discovery. Now, this brilliantly talented writer returns with I Know This Much Is True, a heartbreaking and poignant multigenerational saga of the reproductive bonds of destruction and the powerful force of forgiveness. A masterpiece that breathtakingly tells a story of alienation and connection, power and abuse, devastation and renewal--this novel is a contemporary retelling of an ancient Hindu myth. A proud king must confront his demons to achieve salvation. Change yourself, the myth instructs, and you will inhabit a renovated world.

It was just okay. I struggle to understand why this book was so highly acclaimed. I didn’t realize the version I read was abridged — until I was nearly done. I cannot imagine spending 3x as long reading this book. However, maybe that’s why it was just ok…maybe abridging it caused a loss of story fidelity.
