Karim Dimechkie

Opis

A heartwarming, heartbreaking story of a young Lebanese-American man coming of age under a loving roof (and a very big lie) and coming to terms with a violent past

Recenzje

As welcoming, warm and funny as anything I've read this year . Dimechkie's depiction of the lonely sadness of losing a once bolt-locked bond with a child is entirely convincing; the harrowing minutiae of offspring betrayal is keenly felt . A collection of poignant, framed little scenes that burn in the memory way beyond the closing of the book Big Issue
