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. 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 family's strangeness; of François's union with Barbara; of Chloe, the result of that union.

good book awful reading
Revisado: 11-25-24
the god awful french accent by someone who is clearly not a french speaker was extremely distracting, annoying, and honestly comically insulting for how bad and cartoonish it was. that really detracted from a truly amazing novel. what person signed off on such a bad creative decision?
