This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud

 Visual This Strange Eventful History

 

An immersive, masterful story of a family born on the wrong side of history. Over seven decades, from 1940 to 2010, the pieds-noirs Cassars live in an itinerant state—separated in the chaos of World War II, running from a complicated colonial homeland, and, after Algerian independence, without a homeland at all. (Good Reads)

Claire Messud has transformed three generations of her family's story into a tour de force in This Strange Eventful History…all around them are the upheavals of the 20th century, but though Messud is working on a grand canvas, her skill is in miniature. History is dazzling in its fine-tuned character studies…all beautifully realized. This is a pointillist novel, profound in its portrayal of strains, bonds, and heartbreak. (Taylor Antrim in Vogue)

W. W. Norton and Company, published 2024, 448 pages
