Fiction & Literature; Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

When an eavesdropping boy sets out to discover the obscure mysteries of his unravelling family, he uncovers instead what he least wants to know: the workings of his parents

private lives. And even then he can't stop snooping.

Miles Adler-Rich spies and listens in on his separating parents with the help of his friend Hector. The boys

amateur detective work starts innocently enough. But in rifling through his mother s dresser and snooping in her online diary, it isn t long before they stumble into the outer reaches of the grown-up s privacy

uncovering powerful information that will affect the family s health, wealth and sanity.

Written with pathos and brilliant imagination, Casebook is an unflinching and very different coming-of-age story from one of America s most gifted chroniclers of modern family life.

Reviews for Casebook

Praise for My Hollywood: Simpson works her habitual magic, showing how love travels among children who need adults, and adults who need children. Time Simpson's massive gifts - for unflinching precision, for artful indirection and for the deft unfurling of imagery - are on vivid display. -- Michael Chabon Refreshing, poignant, satirical and heartbreaking. -- Kathryn Stockett Utterly infectious. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
