❀ Susan G's Reviews > Hotline

I LOVE Canada Reads!! It introduces me to books that I might not have read, engages the country in books, reflection and a fun 4 days of debates.

Hotline was a new to me, I was not sure what to expect from it's bright, sassy cover. It was a tale of heartache, resilience, new beginnings and hope set in Montreal. Muna has suffered loss in Lebanon and had to make her way, supporting her son, looking for work in a new community. Those of us who lived through the 80s would remember nutrisystem meals and she worked in a similar company as she built a new life for herself and her son.

the book gives perspective on the challenges of moving from Canada, the sorrow of warfare in Lebanon and the the hope of new beginnings!
