A review by anneaustex
Birds of Paradise by Diana Abu-Jaber

3.0

While I thought the book was well written I didn't much care for it for a few reasons. I much prefer a linear story and this one jumped around in time and between characters. Secondly, I didn't engage with anything in the story except for the relationship that bloomed between Avis and Solange. I enjoyed the descriptions of Avis's baking and even Solange's teaching about the stick, twigs, and flowers but it was so brief.

I was ready for the book to end before it did.
