We first meet Michel?eleven days after the death of his son Lion. Lion?was lost, suddenly, to a virulent?strain of meningitis and it's left his father and?entire?family reeling. We join?Michel on?his personal journey through grief, but the twist that makes the journey truly remarkable, and?tips this?true story into fiction, is the fact that?we see?it all through Lion's eyes. In a?stunningly original?blurring of memoir and fiction,?THE SON?tackles the very hardest of subjects in the most readable of ways.?Michel Rostain resolutely?ducks away?from sentimentality and pathos, and tells?his story?instead with?wit,?wisdom and vitality. For?this is?not a book about death; it's a book about life.
