"All My Puny Sorrows" by Miriam Toews

This was a depressingly realistic book about a Mennonite family, told by the sister of a brilliant pianist, who is in her late forties and determined to kill herself. She eventually succeeds by stepping in front of a train, which was the same suicide route their father chose. Some of the hospital sequences and commentaries from friends reminded me of my experiences with Alice. And the wisdom of Persevering despite what life throws at you was a nice message.
