The Last Life by Claire Messud

5.0

Wow. Could not put this one down. I love Claire Messud's other works, but I think this one is my favorite. An intricately woven story about a family divided - yet force-ably connected and the ghosts of their past. Also filled with the angst of a teenage girl 'in crisis.' I especially enjoyed the historical fiction aspect of the families connections with French-Algeria and the Algerian War.
