Imagination intertwined with love, loss, and family.

Last Things is a unique and captivating book that delves into the imagination of an eight-year-old girl, Grace, and how she navigates her family's love, loss, and separation. The book showcases the clash between Grace's mother's vivid imagination and her father's rational thinking and how it affects Grace's life decisions. The book successfully captures the essence of a child's imagination and how it can be both a blessing and a curse. If you are looking for a beautifully written book that examines the complexities of life, love, and family from a unique perspective, Last Things is definitely worth a read.

Description

Grace's father believes in science and builds his daughter a dollhouse with lights that really work. Grace's mother takes her skinny-dipping in the lake and teaches her about African hyena men who devour their wives in their sleep. Grace's world, of fact and fiction, marvels and madness, is slowly unraveling because her family is coming apart before her eyes. Now eight-year-old Grace must choose between her two very different, very flawed parents, a choice that will take her on a dizzying journey, away from her home in Vermont to the boozy, flooded streets of New Orleans--and into the equally wondrous and frightening realm of her own imagination.With eloquence and compassion, Jenny Offill weaves a luminous story of a wounded family and of a young girl yearning to understand the difference between fiction, fact, and hope. A novel of vibrant imagination and searing intelligence, Last Things is a stunning literary achievement.
