a novel


“A thoroughly original and undeniably brilliant companion piece to Meloy’s debut novel, Liars and Saints.... Each novel stands alone; together they pack a seismic wallop.”

Kirkus (starred review)


“Riveting and engrossing, Meloy’s tale of a family struggling with guilt and forgiveness spans decades and crosses continents, proving her status as one of the best literary observers of contemporary American life.”

Booklist (starred review) 


A Family Daughter roams engrossingly from California to Paris to Buenos Aires in ways that make it a big book as well as a swift, slender, graceful one.”
