These Dividing Walls by Fran Cooper
5.0
An honest book
With today's political climate as it is, this book can't be read at a better time. This book explores the lives of the individuals who inhabit Number thirty seven, an apartment building located in the beautiful Paris. A building, located in a Paris different to the one that is so often romanticized. Its residents couldn't be more different to each other, they're all fearful of what their world has come to. Be it, the rising immigration, the increasing unemployment, their own personal losses, or what their lives are shaping up to become...
Cooper also explores Islamophobia in this book, and in an honest manner giving due credit to those who don't share this attitude. This is what I especially liked about this novel: Fran Cooper explores a handful of diverse perspectives, whilst delivering a compelling narrative that couldn't be more reflective of today's reality.
I received this book through NetGalley.
