"Luna, Phoenix, Queen reimagined what I thought a novel could do. My favorite kind of novel." —Caro Claire Burke, author of Yesteryear
Dava and Barr Pennington, professors at a Midwestern university, both harbor potent secrets. Fiction writing is his specialty, English literature is hers. But Dava is unhappy in their marriage, and secretly in love with a colleague, Svetlana White, who teaches in the Russian Studies department; spurred by their complicated liaison, she spends her nights working on a novel about two women who run a domestic violence shelter in coastal Maine. Though she loves the work and the refuge it provides, the writing becomes increasingly difficult as her memory begins to fail; tests reveal that she’s suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s. After a precipitous decline, she moves to a memory-care facility in a neighboring town. Soon afterward, her husband, alone in the house at night, discovers her hidden manuscript, which he reads with envy, and then with anger, as he extrapolates his wife’s affair from the relationship described in the novel’s pages. Over the next two years he rewrites the novel and publishes it as his own, to wide acclaim. But persistent feelings of guilt lead him to confess his theft to an unlikely party, who leads others to the truth.
Luna, Phoenix, Queen tells its tale of artistic and marital betrayal in a chorus of voices. We hear from Barr as he becomes obsessed with Luna, a horrifically injured dog at a local shelter; from Dava as she meets Svetlana for the first time, on a transatlantic flight to Dublin; from Milo, Dava’s son, as he hides in the woods with Naomi, Svetlana’s daughter; from Svetlana, experiencing the loss of a relationship that ended before it could come to fruition; from Evie, Barr’s research assistant, who witnessed Dava’s last days at home with her husband; from James, the Penningtons’ younger son, who makes a startling discovery after his father’s death; and from Milo and Svetlana again, as they grieve the injustice of Barr’s theft and confront the devastation of Dava’s disease.
In a narrative that spans four decades and four thousand miles, Luna, Phoenix, Queen illuminates the power of storytelling and explores the terror of losing the ability to make sense of our world. It is a cry of rage against our vulnerability and helplessness; an acknowledgment of the mysteries beneath the familiar surface of our world; and ultimately, if unexpectedly, a radical testament to love in its many forms.

批評家のレビュー
"Luna, Pheonix, Queen reimagined what I thought a novel could do. My favorite kind of novel." —Caro Claire Burke, author of Yesteryear
“Luna, Phoenix, Queen breaks all the rules and makes its own. Gripping, heartbreaking, redemptive and a joy to read, Orringer has given readers a great gift. It will knock your socks off.” —Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less
“Luna, Phoenix, Queen is a miracle of a book. A novel about love, memory, and betrayal, it is also a story about the search for freedom and the persistence of hope. Julie Orringer is one of our wisest and most open-hearted writers; this novel filled me with joy and wonder.” —Katie Kitamura, author of Audition
“No one writes a love story like Julie Orringer. In this intensely personal novel, illness cracks a family open to reveal, at its secret heart, a passionate affair, an edge-of-your-seat mystery, and one of the most memorable dogs in all of literature.” —Nell Freudenberger, author of The Limits
“Luna, Phoenix, Queen is a mystery about writing and thievery and who we are, no matter who we appear to be, and a love story in which the soul, animal and human, transgresses and transcends, honing each being. Lives proceed through joy, through harm and ruin, bereavement and rebirth, revealing both origin and the underlying design of a dark, wondrous cosmos. Dogs and lakes are miraculous; secrets have their own graves; even disappearing minds sense filaments of pure meaning. In Julie Orringer’s words, ‘there’ s no justice, but there might be truth’” —Jayne Anne Phillips, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Small Town Girl and Night Watch
“[Luna, Phoenix, Queen] is an exceptional, intricately layered work about bad fortune, difficult choices and the desire for redemption. . . . A warm, beautifully crafted mosaic of suppressed longing and poignant desperation.” —BookPage (starred review)
“Orringer plumbs the depths of Alzheimer’s, betrayal, and plagiarism in her exquisite latest. . . . She offers fascinating insights into the motivations behind and consequences of literary appropriation. This is superb.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“[A] heart-seizing, insightful, complexly provocative, and profoundly intentional novel of loneliness and longing, betrayal and rescue, creativity and love." —Booklist (starred review)
“Heart-stoppingly good. . . . Orringer constructs a soulful novel that works variations on themes of love, loss, and legacy.” —Kirkus (starred review)
