Description

Called following the "heavenly" Sarah Bernhardt, reddish-haired Sarah Nour El-Din is "irresistibly special, fantastic, humorous, and incredible," brags Amy Color. Decided to create of her life a thing of beauty, she attempts to tell her story, sometimes throwing it as a memoir, sometimes a novel, always fascinatingly incomplete. "Alameddineis new novel unfolds such as for instance a solution, developing an account,funny and tragic and always actual" (L A Times). "[W]ith each fresh strategy, [Debbie] sheds another coating of her pretension, exposing another reality about her mankind" (Bay Area Weekly). Elevated in a hybrid household formed by divorce and remarriage, and by Beirut in wartime, Sarah discovers a delicate peace in self imposed exile in america.
