Description
Slander by Linda L? is a powerful exploration of family secrets and trauma. The novel follows three generations of a cursed family, whose stories are revealed through the alternating narratives of the narrator and her uncle's journal.
The author's own experiences as a Vietnamese writer in France inform this acid style, which burns with compressed lyricism and savage irony. This is a story about misfortune's family tree, where the past refuses to stay buried.
