Starred review from May 15, 2020
She wanted most of all to dance. And she did so, sometimes brilliantly, as at the International Festival of the Dance in 1928 in Paris, where she earned second place despite being the overwhelming audience favorite. But Lucia Joyce has other responsibilities: the daughter of James Joyce, she is both helpmate and muse to her father as he struggles, with worsening eyesight, to finish the work in progress that turns out to be Finnegans Wake. Lucia's first-person narrative toggles between Paris in the late 1920s and Zurich in 1934, where she is treated by Carl Jung after being institutionalized for increasingly erratic behavior. In Paris, where she lives with her parents and older brother, Giorgio, she has romances with her father's assistant, Samuel Beckett, who remained the love of her life, and Alexander Calder, hired by her father to teach her art and divert her from dance. With solid research, Abbs illuminates the life of a woman whose natural ability, determined motivation, and incredibly hard work were obstructed by family demands, leaving her dreams unfulfilled. In Abbs' vibrant prose, this moving debut novel delivers a luminous portrait of the Joyce girl, who was destined to become not a headlining dancer but instead a footnote in the history of literature.
