The Double Life of Liliane
ByPublisher Description
Her father is a German movie producer who lives in Italy. Her mother is a beautiful, artistically talented woman who resides in New York. As their child, Liliane's life is divided between those two very different worlds—worlds that inspire her to find herself in both the present and in her ancestors' pasts.
A shy and observant only child with a vivid imagination, Liliane finds herself exploring her family's vibrant history—which includes such renowned and diverse figures as the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn and the tragic Mary Queen of Scots—and piecing together their vivid lives. And in doing so, what is revealed is an astonishing and riveting exploration of self, humanity, and family.
Told with Lily Tuck's inimitable elegance and peppered with documents, photos, and a rich and varied array of characters, "this autobiographical novel creates a portrait of the writer as a young woman" (
).

“I was really disappointed in this book. One of the reviews mentioned the emotional distance in the narration, and I agree. Plus the entire book is one long example of why you need to show, not tell. I finished it because I wanted to know what happened, but then I felt like the ending fell even flatter than the rest of the book. It just... stopped.”
