Set This House in Order
Set This House in Order | Matt Ruff
4 posts | 16 read | 35 to read
Andy Gage was born in 1965 and murdered not long after by his stepfather. . . . It was no ordinary murder. Though the torture and abuse that killed him were real, Andy Gage's death wasn't. Only his soul actually died, and when it died, it broke in pieces. Then the pieces became souls in their own right, coinheritors of Andy Gage's life. . . . While Andy deals with the outside world, more than a hundred other souls share an imaginary house inside Andy's head, struggling to maintain an orderly coexistence: Aaron, the father figure; Adam, the mischievous teenager; Jake, the frightened little boy; Aunt Sam, the artist; Seferis, the defender; and Gideon, who wants to get rid of Andy and the others and run things on his own. Andy's new coworker, Penny Driver, is also a multiple personality, a fact that Penny is only partially aware of. When several of Penny's other souls ask Andy for help, Andy reluctantly agrees, setting in motion a chain of events that threatens to destroy the stability of the house. Now Andy and Penny must work together to uncover a terrible secret that Andy has been keeping . . . from himself.

5-4-21: My 44th finished book of 2021! Wow, this book was a lot but in a great way! Andrew Gage suffers from multiple personality disorder and he has created a house in his mind where all of his personalities can reside together. Enter, Penny Driver, who doesn‘t realize she is one also. Andrew must help her come to terms with her illness while he learns more about himself and his awful childhood and why he “split” in the first place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The first book to actually make me say "What the actual F***" outloud. A wonderfully woven tale that is leaving me questioning what I thought I knew of the plot this entire time!

I thought about this book for weeks after I finished reading it. I missed all of the characters. It's soooo good.

Alena Thanks for introducing me to this book. 8y
heikemarie My dad gave me this books years ago and not only did I never enjoy it, I was wary of anything he recommended thereafter! Weird! I am glad to see a different perspective on it. 8y
