Description
Waiting for Bojangles is a darkly humorous and charming novel about a young boy and his eccentric family, who grapple with the realities of mental illness in unique and whimsical ways. The story follows the boy and his parents as they navigate the complexities of mental health, with his mother's unpredictable behavior and his father's epic love story with his wife taking center stage. As the family flees Paris for a country home in Spain, they come to understand that some of the most radiant people bear the heaviest burdens. The novel is told from the perspective of the young boy, who idolizes his parents, and from his father's journals, detailing his love story with his wife. This "lighthearted and yet sorrowful tale" is a poignant exploration of the human experience. With its unique blend of humor and pathos, Waiting for Bojangles is a novel that will stay with you long after the final page.
