4,25.

Okay let me tell you something. If I gave that book 4,25/5⭐️, it’s because it’s really really good. I’ve read a lot of immigration stories set in Montréal. And by a lot, I mean A LOT (30+, for research purposes). At this point, I usually give them 3 stars out of respect, because I know that they are probably not so bad for someone reading those kind of stories for the first few times, but I usually think of them as 2 stars.

But this… Truly amazing! At first, I was not convinced. But then it started to get better and better and better. Got me all emotional.

This single mother who lost her husband to the Lebanon wars in the 1980s, moved to Montréal, and was faced with all the racism of the times. As a Québécoise, it puts some things into perspective. I have a lot to think about and reflect on after finishing this read, even if it’s not necessarily exactly the same anymore.

So definitely try this one… it’s one of the best, I promise.
