Simon & Schuster. 02/07/2006. 325 pgs. Maile Meloy’s remarkable debut novel LIARS AND SAINTS described, with spare and sparkling realism, four generations of the Santerre family. In A FAMILY DAUGHTER, Meloy returns to the Santerres, but with a delicious twist: the first novel was, the reader discovers, actually written by a character in the second novel! In the hands of a less talented writer, this meta-fictional device could quickly become laden with showy precociousness, but Meloy remains focused on the intimate dramas of the characters’ lives. With a deft ear for dialogue, a keen sense of humor, and a wonderful insight into the human psyche, Meloy tracks the parallel lives of Abby Santerre and her young uncle Jamie after their calamitous and incestuous affair. While her first novel showed a clear affinity with the short story, A FAMILY DAUGHTER feels more expansive, more operatic, and, ironically, less believable (Jamie falls in with a snobby socialite family that lives in Argentina and has adopted a Hungarian prostitute’s son). However, Meloy’s lively prose more than compensates for the occasional lapses into melodrama, and the resonance between her two novels produces an unexpected and delightful harmony.
