Personality
Andrew O'Hagan's novel explores the life and career of a Scottish-Irish singer named Maria Tambini, a child prodigy with a precociously powerful voice. Her story is based on that of a real-life character, Lena Zavaroni, who died in 1999, a victim of anorexia nervosa, which Maria also succumbs to. The novel--narrated via multiple points of view and also through tapes, song lyrics, newspaper clippings, TV shows, letters, and other forms--delves into the question of famous children and the price they pay as they exchange the normal (and necessary) rituals of childhood for a too-early immersion in adult life with all its troubling aspects. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
