Description
Lucia by Alex Pheby is a powerful and poignant novel that explores the life of Lucia Joyce, a gifted dancer and daughter of James Joyce. Since her death, much about her has been shrouded in mystery, but this book sheds light on the events of her final thirty years, which were spent in an asylum. Through sharp and cutting narrative, Pheby evokes the stories that may have been done to Lucia, for her and against her, revealing a complex and heart-breaking portrait. At the same time, the novel questions what it means to recreate a life, leaving the reader to ponder the nature of truth and memory. This is a deeply moving and thought-provoking book that will appeal to readers interested in literary fiction and those drawn to stories about the human experience.
