Austin Duffy's distinctively dry, laconic writing style gives this powerful and emotional tale of a father-daughter relationship a subversive and captivating edge. A truly excellent novel - William Boyd
When Wolf's recently widowed wife Miriam succumbs to cancer, his entire universe is upended. Wolf and his daughter, Ruth, embark on a journey from London to New York to scatter Miriam's ashes in the Hudson River. During the ten High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, they reconnect with Miriam's conservative Jewish family, who are vehemently opposed to Miriam's choice of burial. Wolf must navigate the hostility of Miriam's Orthodox family while also grappling with his own desires to rectify past wrongs before it's too late.
Ten Days is a poignant and tender exploration of time, grief, and memory. It delves deep into the intricate love between a father and daughter and the complexities of marriage in the face of older family ties. Duffy's writing is characterized by his precise language and vivid imagery, creating a vivid and immersive experience for the reader.
This novel is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of literature to touch the hearts and minds of its readers. It is a must-read for anyone who appreciates well-crafted fiction and the complexities of human relationships.
