Written with the same graceful narrative voice that made his bestselling National Book Award finalist The Big House such a success, George Howe Colt's November of the Soul is a compassionate, compelling, thought-provoking, and exhaustive investigation into the subject of suicide.

But Jacob is not a doctor, and a botched delivery exposes his ruse, driving him onto the streets in a plung...
