Description

Saskia de Costers We and Me is a great dark beauty, and simultaneously, a true original and a reminder of why that endangered species, the novel, remains essential: no other narrative form is so expansive, so complex, so human, and so true. Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours

We and Me is a novel that will haunt me for a long time. Excellent and unforgettable. Herman Koch, author of The Dinner

In this spellbinding novel, which has been compared to the work of Jonathan Franzen, Dave Eggers, and Jeffrey Eugenides, Saskia de Coster provides a uniquely European take on the tradition of The Great American Novel. With the family unit and some of lifes most pressing questions at its center, the award-winning We and Me paints a captivatingly haunting picture of bourgeois family life.

Written from several different perspectives, We and Me covers the time period between 1980 and 2013 and focuses on the aristocratic Vandersanden family. Set in their opulent private estate located atop a mountain, neuroses, claustrophobia, scandal and rebellion run rife. At the heart of the family and the novel is Sarah, whose coming of age is both daringly and sensitively explored in de Costers skillful prose.

With her characteristically incisive approach, de Coster excavates the nuanced underbelly of human emotions with humor, understanding, and a lightness of touch. We and Me is a remarkable and compelling tale by one of the greatest Belgian writers of our time.
