LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024'An epic family odyssey'
Guardian, Book of the DayOver seven decades, from 1940 to 2010, the
Cassar family is buffeted by conflict, struggling to find its feet
- separated 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 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 family's strangeness, of François's 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 her own family's history, Claire Messud animates her
characters' rich interior lives amid the social and political
upheaval of the recent past.This Strange Eventful History is an
immersive, masterful story of a family born on the wrong side of
history. '[A] wise and insightful novel about identity and family'
The Times, Book of the Day'A rich, sprawling saga... This Strange
Eventful History may be Messud's finest book' Sunday Telegraph
