Review: The early parts of Catherine Hernandez’ “The Story of Us” are a riveting novel of class and social structures, betrayal and wage slavery, vividly depicted from the underside of glamour and money.
“The Story of Us,” the dazzling new novel from writer and playwright Catherine Hernandez, beguiles from its very first sentences. “Hello? Hi. Liz? Can you hear me? Can you see me if you look into my eyes?”
It’s an opening that is difficult to resist and sets the reader up perfectly for the book to follow: “The Story of Us” is narrated by a voice within a child in its first days of life, guided by a sense of urgency. “The former me, the real me, is fading by the second,” the narrator informs, “and there are things I remember, at this very moment and never will again, that I need to share with you.”
