Book Description
Due to a series of bad decisions, Harold finds himself fighting to save his legacy and his life. Winning either fight seems unlikely. The collision of two separate events from Harold’s past is turning his life upside down: Harold is quickly approaching the age at which his father dropped dead, right in front of him, from a deadly condition that Harold has inherited; and a childhood friend who recently died by suicide because, in Harold’s mind, of a horrible mistake Harold made when they were fourteen. Unwilling to confront his past or his mortality, Harold decides to fix the future. But his efforts to extend his control beyond the grave only make things worse, alienating friends and family. His irrational behaviour finally puts his life at risk when he finds himself lost in the Canadian Rockies in the dead of winter. In the pit of his despair, Harold hears a voice in the darkness that describes itself as a spirit named Herman. A fan of Miley Cyrus, bad jokes, and of Harold himself, Herman appears to hold a very unusual insight into the universe and the very reason for our existence. While Herman’s story stretches Harold’s imagination, it may be exactly what he needs to hear. As he struggles to deal with his fear and guilt, Harold must trust the disembodied voice of Herman and realize the implications of what he’s done. But will he survive long enough to fix the mess he’s created?

Book Description
A spellbinding novel that will resonate with readers of Mark Haddon, Louise Erdrich, and John Irving, Perfect tells the story of a young boy who is thrown into the murky, difficult realities of the adult world with far-reaching consequences. Byron Hemmings wakes to a morning that looks like any other: his school uniform draped over his wooden desk chair, his sister arguing over the breakfast cereal, the click of his mother’s heels as she crosses the kitchen. But when the three of them leave home, driving into a dense summer fog, the morning takes an unmistakable turn. In one terrible moment, something happens, something completely unexpected and at odds with life as Byron understands it. While his mother seems not to have noticed, eleven-year-old Byron understands that from now on nothing can be the same. What happened and who is to blame? Over the days and weeks that follow, Byron’s perfect world is shattered. Unable to trust his parents, he confides in his best friend, James, and together they concoct a plan. . . . As she did in her debut, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Rachel Joyce has imagined bewitching characters who find their ordinary lives unexpectedly thrown into chaos, who learn that there are times when children must become parents to their parents, and who discover that in confronting the hard truths about their pasts, they will forge unexpected relationships that have profound and surprising impacts. Brimming with love, forgiveness, and redemption, Perfect will cement Rachel Joyce’s reputation as one of fiction’s brightest talents. Praise for Perfect “Touching, eccentric . . . Joyce does an inviting job of setting up these mysterious circumstances, and of drawing Byron’s magical closeness with Diana.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Haunting . . . compelling.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune “[Joyce] triumphantly returns with Perfect. . . . As Joyce probes the souls of Diana, Byron and Jim, she reveals—slowly and deliberately, as if peeling back a delicate onion skin—the connection between the two stories, creating a poignant, searching tale.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Perfect touches on class, mental illness, and the ways a psyche is formed or broken. It has the tenor of a horror film, and yet at the end, in some kind of contortionist trick, the narrative unfolds into an unexpected burst of redemption. [Verdict:] Buy It.”—New York “Joyce’s dark, quiet follow-up to her successful debut, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, could easily become a book club favorite. . . . Perfect is the kind of book that blossoms under thoughtful examination, its slow tendencies redeemed by moments of loveliness and insight. However sad, Joyce’s messages—about the limitations of time and control, the failures of adults and the fears of children, and our responsibility for our own imprisonment and freedom—have a gentle ring of truth to them.”—The Washington Post “There is a poignancy to Joyce’s narrative that makes for her most memorable writing.”—NPR’s All Things Considered
