An electrifying novel from Leslie Jamison, one of our most beloved contemporary voices: the epic story of three women connected by the haunting power of an ancient myth

"A literary tour de force. The Daughters manages to be both an epic…and an intimate portrait of women’s inner lives as they navigate desire, motherhood, and loss…I could not tear myself away.” ―J. Courtney Sullivan, author of The Cliffs

Every monster has two mothers—the woman who bore him, and the pain that shapes him. They raise him together.

Knossos, 1550 BC: Newly wed to the tyrannical King Minos, the witch queen Pasiphaë makes a dangerous bargain. After giving birth to the legendary Minotaur, a creature she can barely fathom, she must wrestle with what it means to love a son the world calls monstrous.

New York, 1944: Beth yearns for something more than her picture-perfect life in the suburbs. But when an old friend calls and an image from the ancient past takes hold of her, Beth’s cloistered world cracks open, forcing her to make an impossible choice.

Crete, 1997: Reeling from grief after her father’s death, Jac finds unexpected solace with a mysterious community of women living in the hills of Crete. Under the thrall of the women’s charismatic leader, Jac feels compelled to stay. But the longer she remains, the darker the secrets she uncovers.

Full of the riveting prose and piercing insights that have made Jamison one of our most cherished nonfiction writers, The Daughters is a gripping novel that sweeps across centuries—a spellbinding exploration of desire, devotion, and the complexities of our deepest human bonds.

批評家のレビュー

“Leslie Jamison’s The Daughters is a powerhouse, blistering and frank. Jamison builds ravishing eddies of chaos and redemption. There’s centripetal delight in all the vortical whoosh, in seeing the universal unspoken set down in ink. I’ll be thinking about The Daughters—its final pages, its final line—forever.”—Kaveh Akbar, National Book Award finalist and Dayton Literary Peace Prize–winning author of Martyr!
"A literary tour de force. The Daughters manages to be both an epic—spanning millennia, blurring myth and reality—and an intimate portrait of women’s inner lives as they navigate desire, motherhood, and loss. It's beautifully written, fast paced, funny, and profound. I could not tear myself away.”—J. Courtney Sullivan, author of The Cliffs
“Fierce, stunning and beautiful. The Daughters is an indelible novel about motherhood, friendship, loyalty and self-definition. Leslie Jamison writes with passion and marvelous dexterity, catapulting across time and modes of storytelling with ease. Sensual and deeply imaginative, this novel consumed me.”—Katie Kitamura, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist Audition
“The Daughters is astonishing. I could not put this down—through three timelines and points of view, this dark and confronting reckoning with womanhood, motherhood and daughterhood is as emotionally suspenseful as they come. Leslie Jamison is a masterful truth-teller who writes with precision and vulnerability, and to read this novel is to trust yourself entirely in her hands—she will crack you open with a wallop, then put you back together with care. There’s nobody like her, and nothing like this novel. I loved it.”—Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push and The Things You'll Never Know
“I haven’t been this excited about a myth since Anne Carson. The Daughters is modern and timeless at once. At the heart of each of its propulsive storylines, I found a truth about female relationships so bright it’s hard to look at directly. Jamison is my north star. I come out of every single one of her books changed.”—Madeline Cash, author of Lost Lambs
“The Daughters is visceral, lush, startling, and unforgettable, as all great myths must be. Leslie Jamison proves herself once more to be a master of her craft and a storyteller for the ages.”—Julia Phillips, author of Bear
