LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024
'An epic family odyssey' - Guardian, Book of the Day
Over 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
