Excellent and unforgettable. - Herman Koch, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Dinner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this spellbinding novel, which has been compared to the work of Jonathan Franzen, Dave Eggers and Jeffrey Eugenides, Saskia de Coster provides a uniquely European take on the tradition of 'The Great American Novel'. With the family unit and some of life's most pressing questions at its centre, the award-winning \u003ci\u003eWe and Me\u003c\/i\u003e paints a captivatingly haunting picture of bourgeois family life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten from several different perspectives, \u003ci\u003eWe and Me\u003c\/i\u003e covers the time period between 1980 and 2013 and focuses on the aristocratic Vandersanden family. Set in their opulent private estate located atop a mountain, neuroses, claustrophobia, scandal, and rebellion run rife. At the heart of the family and the novel is Sarah, whose coming of age is both daringly and sensitively explored in de Coster's skilful prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith her characteristically incisive approach, de Coster excavates the nuanced underbelly of human emotions with humour, understanding, and a lightness of touch. \u003ci\u003eWe and Me\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable and compelling tale by one of the greatest Belgian writers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487757320428,"sku":"9781642860047","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25fe672675cd75b955e515eb692b0bd8.jpg?v=1775769220","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/we-and-me-by-saskia-de-coster-9781642860047","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
