Beginning Middle End by Valeria Luiselli review – a mother and daughter’s odyssey Valeria Luiselli's latest novel, Beginning Middle End, is a sprawling tale of identity, family, and history that defies traditional notions of storytelling.
At its core, the book explores the difficulties of crafting a coherent narrative when life itself seems to defy structure.
The novel centers on the tension between form and content, as embodied by Luiselli's own experiences as an expatriate writer grappling with migration and identity.
