A Dream Life
A Dream Life
A jewel of a novel by New York Times-bestselling author Claire Messud When the Armstrong family moves from New York at the dawn of the 1970s, Australia feels, to Alice Armstrong, like the end of the earth. Residing in a grand manor on the glittering Sydney Harbour, her family finds their life has turned upside down. As she navigates this strange new world, Alice must weave an existence from its shimmering mirage. Lies and self-deception are at the heart of this keenly observed story. This is a sharp, biting and playful tale with a cast of unscrupulous characters adrift in a dream life of their own making. Written with the characteristic delicacy of touch, humor and emotional insight that make Claire Messud one of our greatest writers. "A novelist of unnerving talent." The New York Times Book Review "[Messud is] among our greatest contemporary writers." The New Yorker "A perfect frolic of a book, puffed on breezes of beauty and wit: it waltzes you through a little fear, a little darkness, and tips you out, refreshed and laughing, into the sun." Helen Garner
