In her new novel, ‘The Familiar,’ the author of the Grishaverse series has crafted an essential read about oppression and liberation.
Leigh Bardugo has made a career out of writing about oppressed people who wield uncanny powers. Those concerns loom large in her young-adult Grishaverse series about a downtrodden minority who command a world-shaping magic, and the hero of her adult debut, ““The Familiar,” which is set in late-16th-century Spain, is centered on a young servant named Luzia who has the power to create milagritos, or small miracles.
Luzia’s status as a scullion, or kitchen servant, also shapes how she moves through the world. She pretends to be illiterate, when in fact she can read Latin as well as Spanish, and puts on an exaggerated humble persona. She quickly befriends Santángel, the mysterious supernatural bodyguard to a powerful nobleman who is the familiar of the book’s title.
