Summary:
An immersive, masterful story of a family born on the wrong side of history, from one of our finest contemporary novelists. Over seven decades, from 1940 to 2010, the pieds-noirs Cassars live in an itinerant stateseparated in the chaos of World War II, running from a complicated colonial homeland, and, after Algerian independence, without a homeland at all. This Strange Eventful History, told with historical sweep, is above all a family story: of patriarch Gaston and his wife Lucienne, whose myth of perfect love sustains them and stifles their children; of François and Denise, devoted siblings connected by their familys strangeness; of Françoiss union with Barbara, a woman so culturally different they can barely comprehend one another; of Chloe, the result of that union, who believes that telling these buried stories will bring them all peace. Inspired in part by long-ago stories from her own familys history, Claire Messud animates her characters rich interior lives amid the social and political upheaval of the recent past. As profoundly intimate as it is expansive, This Strange Eventful History is a tour de force one of those rare novels that a reader doesnt merely read but lives through with the characters (Yiyun Li). A choral mural of sweep and scope that knows just when to render the historical personal, Claire Messuds epic is above all a wise, wary, yet love-struck chronicle of how the selves we strive to make become colonized by family.Joshua Cohen, author of the Pulitzer Prizewinning The Netanyahus
