Daughter

A Must-Read: The New York Times, Elle, Literary Hub, The Millions, The Globe and Mail, and CBC

"[A] darkly glittering tale . . . Beautiful and piercing." --The New York Times Book Review

In Claudia Dey's Daughter, a woman long caught in her father's web strives to make a life--and art--of her own.

To be loved by your father is to be loved by God.

>Mona's tenuous stability is thrown into chaos. Only when she suffers an incalculable loss--one far deeper and more defining than family entanglements--can she begin supplanting absent love with real love. Pushed to the precipice, she must decide how she wants to live, what she most needs to say, and the risks she will take to say it.

Claudia Dey chronicles our most intimate lives with penetrating insight and devilish humor. Daughter is an obsessive, blazing examination of the forces that drive us to become, to create, and to break free.
