Twelve-year-old Toulouse Tull Trotter lives on his grandfather s vast Bel-Air parkland estate with his mother, the beautiful, drug-addicted Katrina a landscape artist who specializes in topiary labyrinths. He spends most of his time with young cousins Lucy, the girl detective, and Edward, a prodigy undaunted by the disfiguring effects of Apert Syndrome. One day, an impulsive revelation by Lucy sets in motion a chain of events that changes Tull and the Trotter family forever.
In this latter-day Thousand and One Nights, a boy seeks his lost father and a woman finds her long-lost love . . . while a family of unimaginable wealth learns that its fate is bound up with two fugitives: Amaryllis, a street orphan who aspires to be a saint, and her protector, a homeless schizophrenic, clad in Victorian rags, who is accused of a horrifying crime."

Review:
Praise for Bruce Wagner's I'm Losing you
"[Wagner] writes like a wizard. . . . His prose writhes and coruscates." --John Updike, The New Yorker
"Ferocious acuity. Outrageous. . . . Dead-on in every way." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Superb. . . . The author's images, tones, and language give I'm Losing You a hard beauty that glints like black crystal." --Time
"The year's best book."--Walter Kirn, New York magazine
"One of the year's most notorious books. . . . A must-read."--Entertainment Weekly
"Ruthlessly hip and very funny."--Wired
"Wagner's latest novel makes all other Hollywood satires Capraesque in their innocence."--Will Self
"Edgy, sublime."--New York Newsday
"Mr. Wagner . . . treats us to many glorious phrases and whole passages that have the self-propelled rhythm of great prose."--Adam Begley, The New York Observer

Virtuosic . . . [attests] not only to Mr. Wagner's range as a writer--his ability to write with affecting sincerity as well as satiric glee--but also to his power as a storyteller to beguile." --Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times"

"Lavishly imagined . . . Wagner [dares] his readers to be so callous as to question fiction's ability to imagine the impossible.""--The Boston Globe"

"Wagner's astute portrayal of the follies of the rich is exceeded by his skill at rendering the lives of the poor. The chapters on Amaryllis . . . are worthy of a latter-day Dickens."--"The Washington Post"

"Brilliant, inventive, and entertaining . . . a rip-roaring, special-effects-filled ride." --"New York"

"Combines social satire on the scale of Thackeray's Vanity Fair with a hipness that has become Wagner's trademark." --"GQ"

"A brash authorial voice . . . tinged with melancholy . . . a sincere exploration of life, death and immortality."--"People"
