"I have been blessed with many curses in my life, not the least of which was being born half Lebanese and half American. Throughout my life, these contradictory parts battled endlessly, clashed, never coming to a satisfactory conclusion."
An exceptionally brilliant prose. The story of Sarah....Alameddine's language....Many many many pieces that NEVER come together....An irresistible journey through continents, times, secrets...LIVES...
A fascinating narrating. Witty and amazing.
A novel WRITTEN by a male author in a FEMALE's voice that's so LITERALLY unique, astonishing, addictive, irresistible, complex, delightful, powerful, emotional, intimate, heart-wrenching, profound, funny, moving, memorable, poignant in SOOOOO MANY MANY MANY WAYS.
Like a kaleidoscope...
BEAUTIFUL.
CREATIVE.
REFRESHING.
INGENIOUS.
