Table of ContentsReviewsPraise for The Peacock Feast Delicately weaving Grace's present with Prudence's past, acclaimed novelist Gornick spins an appealing and enthralling family saga. --Carol Haggas, Booklist The deftness of Gornick's talent is visible in the hints and glimpses of the past . . . Finely observed and ultimately redemptive. --Kirkus Reviews The Peacock Feast is one of those rare books that feels both grand and intimate, bringing the reader deeply into a very vivid past. Lisa Gornick has written an engrossing and impressive book. --Meg Wolitzer The Peacock Feast is a dazzling panorama of a novel--moving from a Tiffany mansion to a gardener's tenement apartment to a sixties' commune to a death row unit to an old woman's beautifully decorated last room. The forces of social history and the forces of personal trauma weave the remarkable plot, and readers will be left applauding. --Joan Silber, winner of the 2018 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction and the 2018 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction An explosive moment that shatters generations, a buried trauma, the unspoken weight of history: In this original and beautifully rendered novel, two women, strangers to each other, hold pieces of a puzzle they can only construct together. Weaving fact and fiction to paint the evolution of a family over the sweep of a century, Lisa Gornick plumbs the connections that transform lives in a book that is both gripping and elegantly nuanced. --Christina Baker Kline, author of the #1 New York Times Best Seller Orphan Train Author InformationLisa Gornick is the author of Louisa Meets Bear, Tinderbox, and A Private Sorcery.
