The Book of Form and Emptiness
by Ruth Ozeki
A great book that has you laughing in some places and incredibly sad in others. It follows the story of a mother and her son, Benny. Benny's dad died in a strange accident and since then Benny developed schizophrenia. On top of this, his mother gains a lot of weight and becomes a hoarder. I really liked the mum in this novel. I felt for her deeply throughout, and found myself wanting to climb into the book (or pull her out) and be her friend.
So, overall, it covers a multitude of mental health issues, delicately, humourously in parts, and honestly. I will say no more as it's one to read yourself.
