The Last Life by Claire Messud

4.0

Set in France 1990's, Sagesse LaBasse (a teenager of French-American decent)learns about her family's past and their role in the Frech/Algiers war. She also learns of the private history of her father. All of those histories come together to develop Sagesse into the woman she becomes and relects upon in this novel. Beautifully written.
