Скачать или смотреть CLAIRE MESSUD at Charleston Literary Festival 2024

One of Oprah's most anticipated books of 2024 and longlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, Claire Messud’s seventh novel traces three generations of an itinerant French family with roots in colonial Algeria. “One of those rare novels that a reader doesn’t merely read but lives through with the characters…”—Yiyun Li. Inspired by her the displacement of her own ancestors, the novel charts the odyssey of a family torn apart by war, politics, and religion. She discusses the joys and pitfalls that come from fictionalizing one’s own relatives with Monocle journalist and broadcaster Georgina Godwin.
