The Shock of the Fall

fullDescription

While on vacation with their parents, Matthew Homes and his older brother snuck out in the middle of the night. Only Matthew came home safely. Ten years later, Matthew tells us, he has found a way to bring his brother back... What begins as the story of a lost boy turns into a story of a brave man yearning to understand what happened that night, in the years since, and to his very person. Unafraid to look at the shadows of our hearts, Nathan Filer's rare and brilliant debut The Shock of the Fall shows us the strength that is rooted in resilience and love.

reviews

1. • premium: False
   • source: Booklist
   • content: "The story Filer tells is deeply affecting and insightful in its account of mental illness. And Matthew is a character the reader won't soon forget."
2. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Bruce Mann navigates the complexities of Matt, a boy with schizophrenia who struggles with the realities and "unrealities" of his life, as well as his guilt over the death of his intellectually disabled brother. Mann wisely underplays all but Matt's most obvious psychotic breaks. Instead, he uses slightly halting speech to contrast Matt's quirks with the more normal behavior of his family and caregivers. This first-person narrative affords an intimacy that this mental condition might prevent in real life. It creates empathy--not merely sympathy--for the parents, who have lost both their boys, and for Matt, who has lost his brother as well as control over his life and mind.
