The Sorrows of an American
A Novel
by Siri Hustvedt
When Erik Davidsen and his sister, Inga, find a disturbing note from an unknown woman among their dead father's papers, they believe he may be implicated in a mysterious death. The Sorrows of an American tells the story of the Davidsen family as brother and sister uncover its secrets and unbandage its wounds in the year following their father's funeral. A multi-layered novel that probes the mysteries of the heart and mind, "The sorrows of an American" is breathtaking in its range, richly thought-provoking and profoundly affecting a novel that resonates long beyond the last page.
