Reading Recommendations
The cover of An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih AlameddineAn Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine
 
Aaliya Sohbi lives alone in her Beirut apartment, surrounded by stockpiles of books. Godless, fatherless, childless, and divorced, Aaliya is her family's 'unnecessary appendage.' Every year, she translates a new favorite book into Arabic, then stows it away. The thirty-seven books that Aaliya has translated over her lifetime have never been read-- by anyone. After overhearing her neighbors, 'the three witches,' discussing her too-white hair, Aaliya accidentally dyes her hair too blue. In this breathtaking portrait of a reclusive woman's late-life crisis, readers follow Aaliya's digressive mind as it ricochets across visions of past and present Beirut. (From publisher's website)
 
 
Recent National Book Award winner, Alameddine, dazzled me - a lovely read about love of books and solitude. I love the style and wry humor, and a visit to Beirut - reminds me of another fave, Francis Spufford. Check out Golden Hill!
