scatterbrainbooky 's review for:

My Friends by Hisham Matar
3.5
emotional informative reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes

A deep character study of someone living in exile and processing a traumatic event. My reading experience with 'My Friends' was similar to when I read 'A Gentleman in Moscow' - I knew the writing was excellent, but the novel felt very, very long.
