Outstanding novel, far beyond the usual mystery
What an exhilarating book! The main plot is about a missing husband and father, but Angie Kim has loaded an exceptionally immense amount of material into the narrative. There are several intriguing story arcs intermixed with the vanished father. Mia, the novel's narrator, has recently changed her college major to algorithmic composition, a mix of computer science, math, and music. Her footnotes and side comments about this subject are fascinating. Mia's brother, Eugene, has Angelman's syndrome and autism, which causes large motor dysfunctions and leaves him unable to speak. A great deal of information is given about this syndrome and some enthralling treatment ideas. Eugene was with his father when he disappeared. Adam, the father, was intensely interested in happiness and what he labeled the happiness quotient. He had been engaging in small experiments to test his theories. Mia reads his notes and history concerning this subject and discovers riveting and disturbing material. Happiness Falls is a remarkably intelligent book that can be skimmed over in parts if the reader is not interested in the deeper subject matter. Much of this substance is located in the footnotes. I found each theme captivating. Angie Kim has truly outdone herself. This is an outstanding novel that should not be missed. Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC of this book.
