Listen "OUR LYING KIN: author Claudia Long discusses the weight of family secrets with Meryl Ain"
Episode Synopsis
Meryl Ain chats with Claudia Long about her 2023 novel, Our Lying Kin, the sequel to Nine Tenths of the Law. Both books are about two sisters who seek to solve mysteries and uncover family secrets. They talk about the relationship of sisters, the weight of family secrets, and the writing process.
Claudia Hagadus Long is an author, a lawyer-mediator, a wife, mother, grandmother, and cook. She’s written books about Jewish women living as Catholics in colonial Mexico, and professional female writers struggling to effect change in early 20th Century California. And now, with Nine Tenths of the Law and Our Lying Kin, she’s writing about women in contemporary California and New York, whose lives are powerfully affected by their parents’ history.
Nine Tenths explored the emotional trials that two daughters of a Holocaust survivor suffered, including the guilt, not just over their mother’s trauma, but the sensation that their own griefs could never compare with hers. In Our Lying Kin, it’s their father who struggled with the baggage he inherited from his own parents, who fled Hungary in the terror of the early twentieth century
