I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb is a long book at over 900 pages but it is extremely well written. The story is about Dominick Birdsey,a 40-year-old house painter, his twin brother Thomas, a paranoid schizophrenic, their dysfunctional family and much more. All of the characters come alive and stay with you. This story is mesmerizing and will stay with you long after you have completed it. I read I Know This Much Is True many years ago when it first came out and I still consider it to be one of the finest books I have ever read.

This was a fantastic book. Great read. Dealt with mental illness in a family as well as sibling family interactions. I enjoyed this book on many different levels and it is a book that will stay with you for a long period of time in your reflections on family.
