In Chinese-American writer Li Yiyun's new novel Must I Go, octogenarian Lilia Liska annotates the memoir of an ex-lover with whom she had a daughter, Lucy. He never knew about her and she killed herself at the age of 27.
Li was 44 - the same age Lilia is when her daughter dies - when she wrote this in 2017. Shortly afterwards, her elder son Vincent, 16, committed suicide.
