It's 1893 Louisiana, and the Great Storm evicts 15-year-old Gabbie from her meager home on the banks of the Mississippi and thrusts her into the lavish world of New Orleans' Creole High Society. It's a world of debutants, extravagant balls, and handsome young men in uniforms. Steeped in superstition, mystery, and magic, it counts conjurers, holy men, and practitioners of dark spiritual arts among its most honored denizens. Living in this murky world creates challenges for Gabbie. When she learns she has a paranormal Gift, she wants nothing to do with it. When her Maman reveals a dark family secret, it undermines their relationship. Her first romance is with a young man pursuing another. When a malevolent spirit hell-bent on revenge wreaks havoc on her family, she is powerless to stop it. She doesn't know what to do with her Gift. Should she ignore it and let it die? Should she use it to snare her young man away from another? Should she embrace it and do battle to stop the ghost?Under the tutelage of a trusted mentor and the help of her best friend, Gabbie begins her journey of self-discovery. Her quest transports her to ancient worlds where she learns the source of her power is her African, Native, and European ancestors. This knowledge empowers her not only to master her Gift but, more importantly, to master herself.Though she sometimes trusts the wrong people and sometimes is her own worst enemy, she has the guts to pick herself up when she stumbles and falls. It's through her struggles she learns about love, friendship, envy, fidelity, and repentance. She learns who she is and embraces the person she was born to be.
A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist "[A] masterwork of psychological fiction.… Messud teases readers with a psychological mystery, withholding information and then cannily parceling it out." —Chicago Tribune Julia and Cassie have been friends since nursery school. They have shared everything, including their desire to escape the stifling limitations of their birthplace, the quiet town of Royston, Massachusetts. But as the two girls enter adolescence, their paths diverge and Cassie sets out on a journey that will put her life in danger and shatter her oldest friendship. The Burning Girl is a complex examination of the stories we tell ourselves about youth and friendship, and straddles, expertly, childhood’s imaginary worlds and painful adult reality—crafting a true, immediate portrait of female adolescence. Claire Messud, one of our finest novelists, is as accomplished at weaving a compelling fictional world as she is at asking the big questions: To what extent can we know ourselves and others? What are the stories we create to comprehend our lives and relationships? Brilliantly mixing fable and coming-of-age tale, The Burning Girl gets to the heart of these matters in an absolutely irresistible way. The Burning Girl was named one of the best books of the year by the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Vogue, NPR, Financial Times, Town & Country, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Refinery29, and Literary Hub.
