Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Winner of the Dublin Literary AwardA Best Historical Novel of the Year at The New York Times Book Review"[An] extraordinary achievement." -Liesl Schillinger, The Wall Street JournalAcross three generations, three wars, two continents, and the mythic waters of the Mediterranean, one familys history leads to an inevitable question: What price do our descendants pay for the choices that we make?Nama knows Algeria only by the artifacts she encounters in her grandparents tiny apartment in Normandy: the language her grandmother speaks but Nama cant understand, the food her grandmother cooks, and the precious things her grandmother carried when they fled. Namas father claims to remember nothing; he has made himself French. Her grandfather died before he could tell her his side of the story. But now Nama will travel to Algeria to see for herself what was left behind-including their secrets.The Algerian War for Independence sent Namas grandfather on a journey of his own, from wealthy olive grove owner and respected veteran of the First World War, to refugee spurned as a harki by his fellow Algerians in the transit camps of southern France, to immigrant barely scratching out a living in the north. The long battle against colonial rule broke apart communities, opened deep rifts within families, and saw the whims of those in even temporary power instantly overturn the lives of ordinary people. Where does Namas family fit into this history? How do they fit into Frances future?Alice Zeniters The Art of Losing is a powerful, moving family novel that spans three generations across seventy years and two shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a resonant peoples history of Algeria and its diaspora. It is a story of how we carry on in the face of loss: loss of country, identity, language, connection. Most of all, it is an immersive, riveting excavation of the inescapable legacies of colonialism, immigration, family, and war. Seller Inventory # DADAX0374182302
