Brilliantly imaginative!
In the 1970.s in nothern California, near Gold Rush country, a father and his teenage daughters. Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop, an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them.
Theirs is a makeshift family, until it is riven by an incident on violence - of both hand and heart - that sets fire to the rest of their lives.
From the celebrated author 'The English Patient' and 'In the Skin of a Lion" comes a remarkable novel of intersecting lives that ranges across continents and time
It takes us from the city of San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada’s casinos and eventually to the landscape of south central France. It is here, outside a small village, that Anna becomes immersed in the life and the world of a writer from an earlier time - Lucien Segura. His compelling story circles around raw truths of Annas own life, the one she has left behind but can never truly leave.
Breathtakingly evoked and with unforgettable characters, Divisadero is a multi-layered novel about passion, loss, and the unshakable past, about the often discordant demands of family, love and memory.
