The Daughters
We welcome former Googler Adrienne Celt back to the Google campus to talk about her first published novel "The Daughters". From Kirkus Reviews: "Drawing inspiration from the myth of the rusalka and spanning four generations, from Poznán to Chicago to the stages of Paris, Arizona, and Ulaanbaatar, Celt’s family saga is as much about the power of storytelling as the fraught relationships between mothers and daughters...A haunting novel with real emotional depth, Celt’s psychologically nuanced debut continues to resonate long after the last page has been turned".
