A Double Life

Product Information

Few American icons provoke more enduring fascination than Charles Lindbergh-renowned for his one-man transatlantic flight in 1927, remembered for the sorrow surrounding the kidnapping and death of his firstborn son in 1932, and reviled by many for his opposition to America's entry into World War II. The novel is loosely based on the real life mystery of Lord Lucan, a British peer who disappeared after being suspected of the brutal murder of his children’s nanny and the assault of his wife during an ongoing custody dispute.

The middle-aged Benson (known as Yu to presumably avoid confusion) is an alcoholic who wants to die, even though he has successfully started a family.People everywhere, many of them otherwise sharp-witted and self-aware, are being deceived by their loved ones every day.

The author didn't try to make this an overly complicated mystery with so many twists and turns that end up hurting the story rather than enhancing it.

Claire was a young child when someone broke into her home, killed her nanny and brutally attacked her mother.

Thirty years ago, while Claire and her baby brother slept, a brutal attack took place in their home. This story was inspired by one of the most notorious unsolved crimes of the twentieth century-the Lord Lucan case. As the title implies, one of the main characters is leading a double life, but what I thought were the reasons behind this title, turned out to be wrong. Trying to figure out how to introduce Canadian Kevin Chong’s ferociously courageous new novel, The Double Life of Benson Yu, feels problematic.With its multilayered account of a young society woman’s mysterious transformation into a poet, the novella explores a host of social, spiritual, and aesthetic questions. Her unhinged and completely unethical stalking finally lead to a potential payoff - will Claire be able to discover if her father is alive or dead, and if alive.
