Publisher's Summary
A psychiatric patient’s desperate search for answers reveals peculiar memories and unexpected connections in a twisty and mind-bending novel of love, family, betrayal, and secrets.
Eddie Asher arrives at Hudson Valley Psychiatric Hospital panicked that he may have murdered his brother’s fiancée, Lucy, with whom he shared a profound kinship. He can’t imagine doing such a terrible thing, but Eddie hasn’t been himself lately.
Eddie’s anxiety is nothing new to Pär, the one Eddie calls his Other, who protects Eddie from truths he’s too sensitive to face. Or so Pär says. Troubled by Pär’s increasing sway over his life, Eddie seeks out Dr. Richard Montgomery, a specialist in dissociative identities. The psychiatrist is Eddie’s best chance for piecing together the puzzle of what really happened to Lucy and to understanding his inexplicable memories of another man’s life. But Montgomery’s methods trigger a kaleidoscope of memories that Pär can’t contain, bringing Eddie closer to an unimaginable truth about his identity.
What the critics say
“Mirror Me is an exquisitely rendered meditation on race, family, and memory. With stylish prose and tender storytelling, Williamson Rosenberg explores what it means to have your identity divided at the root and ultimately answers the question we all have about where we truly belong.”—Nancy Johnson, author of The Kindest Lie
“Boundaries of consciousness blur and twist in Lisa Williamson Rosenberg’s compulsively readable second novel, Mirror Me, a heart-pounding exploration of identity, family, and the interconnected webs of the human psyche. Eddie Asher’s desperate journey through the echoes of memories not entirely his own will keep readers mesmerized until the final reveal. Perfect for fans of Behind Her Eyes, Williamson Rosenberg’s unputdownable novel delves into the many ways a person can be Other—even to themselves. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about the nature of the self in this thrilling and thought-provoking read.”—Anne Burt, author of The Dig
“Mirror Me is a mesmerizing mind bender. Love, betrayal, secrets, and one man’s quest to decode his fragmented memories had me on the edge of my seat as I made my way through this gripping exploration of the human psyche.”—Deborah Copaken, New York Times bestselling author of The Red Book and Ladyparts
