Books about family
Books about families, the ones we are born into and the ones we build, with all their love and damage. John Steinbeck's East of Eden follows two generations of brothers, Art Spiegelman's Maus is also the story of a son and his father, and Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns binds two women into one household in Kabul. Memoirs like Born a Crime belong here as well.
