daschneider 's review for:

North of Dawn by Nuruddin Farah
3.0

Engrossing story of a secular Somali-Norwegian family who bring their late son’s wife and children to Oslo after he dies while carrying out a suicide bombing for Al Shabaab. TBH, the prose and details of the action seemed very stilted to me. Some of the plotting was also uneven. But the motivations and actions of the characters was interesting.
