A poignant and unflinching debut novel about a young man's journey through grief, addiction, and recovery, set against the backdrop of the American opioid crisis.

Neal Sehgal's Elegy for Butterfly is a powerful and moving debut novel that explores the devastating impact of the opioid crisis on individuals, families, and communities. The novel follows the journey of Alfie Bloom, a young man who becomes addicted to opioids after the death of his father. As Alfie's addiction spirals out of control, he loses everything—his job, his apartment, and his relationships.

But even at his lowest point, Alfie never gives up hope. With the help of a therapist and a support group, he begins the long and difficult journey to recovery. Along the way, he learns to confront his grief, forgive himself, and find a new purpose in life.

Elegy for Butterfly is a beautifully written and deeply compassionate novel that sheds light on one of the most pressing public health crises of our time. Sehgal's characters are complex and relatable, and his prose is both lyrical and raw. This is a must-read for anyone who has been touched by addiction, loss, or grief.
