Sinossi
"Il fidanzato di mia madre si è preso una cotta per me e lei mi ha mandato a vivere con papà". Come i lettori hanno modo di scoprire fin dalla prima riga, Jasira, l'adolescente protagonista di questo romanzo, tende a saltare i preliminari. Ma forse sa che non esiste un modo piacevole, o garbato, o indolore, per dire quello che ha da dire: quindi lo dice e basta. E ci parla di papà, appunto, un ingegnere spaziale che lavora a Cape Canaveral ma ha nel sangue, e nelle mani, la violenza del Medio Oriente da cui proviene; del signor Vuoso, patriottico e muscoloso vicino di casa e collezionista di "Playboy", dei compagni di scuola che la chiamano "beduina", di giochi che un tempo si sarebbero detti proibiti e di molto altro ancora.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to like the book because of the style of writing and the bold approach of a topic or if I'm supposed to hate it because of a sensitive topic.

Wow. Even though I found my way to this book through the movie (and the movie is very faithful to the book) the novel still packs a wallop. It is perplexing how Erian wields the narrative skill to create such unlikeable yet interesting characters. The girl's father, for example, is not charming at a Leggi tutto
A dark and sad story about sexual abuse, racism, neglect and violence, but also a humorous page-turner about growing up and discovering your sexuality, told in a light tone that will make you laugh. The Beginning: My mother's boyfriend got a crush on me, so she sent me to live with Daddy. Jasira
I picked this book up really not knowing what I was getting myself into. The further I read, the more I questioned whether or not I should continue. I did finish it, however, probably because of my incessant curiosity on how a story will end. I am not exactly sure whether or not I really enjoyed this Leggi tutto
This is not an easy book. I cannot recommend this book to anyone, because it's very dependent on your personal triggers. But if you can stomach it, this book is so worth it. This story explores the coming of age of Jasira. She starts her period and begins to have sexual feelings. This and the changin Leggi tutto
