Ten Thousand Saints
Ten Thousand Saints: A Novel | Eleanor Henderson
7 posts | 11 read | 34 to read
Eleanor Henderson is in possession of an enormous talent which she has matched up with skill, ambition, and a fierce imagination. The resulting novel, Ten Thousand Saints, is the best thing Ive read in a long time.Ann Patchett, bestselling author of Bel Canto and State of WonderA sweeping, multigenerational drama, set against the backdrop of the raw, roaring New York City during the late 1980s, Ten Thousand Saints triumphantly heralds the arrival a remarkable new writer. Eleanor Henderson makes a truly stunning debut with a novel that is part coming of age, part coming to terms, immediately joining the ranks of The Emperors Children by Claire Messud and Jonathan Lethems The Fortress of Solitude. Adoption, teen pregnancy, drugs, hardcore punk rock, the unbridled optimism and reckless stupidity of the youngand oldare all major elements in this heart-aching tale of the son of diehard hippies and his strange odyssey through the extremes of late 20th century youth culture.

I finished this book sometime last week but I'm still thinking about it...

A wonderfully raw story that felt so real to me and I really connected to the characters
I watched the movie adaptation on Netflix, I legit cried at the end 😭😭😭

Thank you so much @riversong153 for giving me this book! 😄

riversong153 So glad you liked it! 6y

Since I‘ve bought books over the weekend at the library sale and need more room on my shelves, I‘m giving these titles away. Comment with the title you want and I‘ll send it to you (US only). Deadline is Friday, June 8th 12pm EST. #giveaway and apparently just ask Home Advisor, per the commercial in the background 🤔

Why why why did I wait so long to read this? So many memories. Being a teen in NYC in the 80s was kind of amazing. Sometimes I forget. Sheesh.
