Luster: A Novel by Raven Leilani: Conversation Starters
Adulthood is a period in life most people consider a huge painーyou suddenly have to be independent, get a job, and sustain your livelihood. That's exactly where Edie's life is at the moment. Living in a dilapidated apartment, working a low-paying job, and not to mention enduring a miserable love lifeーeverything just sucks for her.
Eventually, Edie finds herself unemployed. Just when everything seems to go down the drain, she gets invited to the house of her current love interest, Ericーa man in an open marriage with his wife, Rebecca. Not only is she supposed to be an ally of her lover's wife, but she's also expected to be an advisor of their adopted and only daughter, Akila.
Luster: A Novel received multiple awards and achievements and even received praises from renowned authors. Raven Leilani's debut novel has been catching some attention even before it was released. It has been named the best novel of August 2020 by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux as part of their Dare to Imagine campaign that took place every month in 2020, where they selected one book of fiction and one poetry collection to showcase. Marie Claire's book club also recognized the book as it was praised by Elle, The New York Times, and more. Other American authors such as Carmen Maria Machado, Brit Bennett, Angela Flournoy, and Zadie Smith chip in by hailing and recommending the novel.
