Title: A delight to read!
Product review: What a beautifully written, perfectly executed book! I loved how Messud intertwined each generation's family history into the present history of the teen girl narrator, Sagesse. The sins of the father will visit upon the son, indeed....or in this case, the granddaughter. Messud's command of language is impressive and her prose is so lyrical and magical---perhaps a bit too lyrical for a 15-year old Algerian girl---but that is a minor point. The book itself is perfectly paced and exquisite. I highly recommend it.
