What hooked me about this book as a teenager was not so much the tale as its teller, a girl yearning, like me, to be two things at once – an adult and a writer. Cassandra Mortmain, its 17-year-old narrator, returned to me like an old friend and I realized that her voice – conspiratorial, self-deprecating and self-consciously literary – has been with me ever since I first encountered her. But within seconds of opening the novel again, I was reminded of why I had once loved it enough to read it several times a year. Something half-remembered involving a writer locked in a tower, and a conviction that my first encounter – literary or otherwise – with the drink crème de menthe took place within its pages: these, until recently, were my hazy but fond memories of Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle. ![]() ![]() Ours is a time of almost daily jaw-dropping astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.

Read Full Review > Edie shrewdly learns how to find strength in her jadedness, not just resignation. ![]() In that regard, Luster isn’t just a sardonic book, but a powerful one about emotional transformation. Tucked within the story of her life with Eric’s family are scraps of Edie’s own life, which emerge as she becomes more aware of her third-class treatment and her capacity to escape it. But Leilani is also a major new talent because her command of style and characterization is so strong. She’s treated as an assistant, then an interloper and finally an invader. The climax emphasizes that for all of her wit and flexibility, Edie is ultimately a Black woman in a white neighborhood. distinguished by its focus on race, which raises the stakes for the story. As the situation destabilizes, growing uncomfortably thick with noblesse oblige, the metaphors get sharper. But Leilani is a master of darker, more deadpan humor. Leilani is such a funny writer that the despair of Edie’s predicament isn’t clear until she’s fully immersed in it. ![]() ![]() Hen Percy’s mom finds out, she knows it’s time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he’ll be safe.
