We Are All Made Of Glue by Marina Lewycka
4.0
Okay, I officially ADORE this author! I enjoyed her first book (A short history of tractors in Ukrainian) but I found it very painful to read since it was a very touchy subject regarding my past and that of Eastern Europe countries. I laughed myself silly over her second book (Two caravans) since it was a carefree adventure ride; but boy oh boy, THIS was a treasure!!! I simply ran through it in 2 days, savouring every page!
The story was witty, her language superb, her capacity for making each character sparkle-wonderful! And her trademark political and historical sub plot made it all the more enjoyable. For the first time in my life I actually understood the whole Iraq vs Palestine affair, uncovering deep and dark secrets, saving families and protecting historical houses on the way.
Hats off to Ms. Lewycka. May she keep the novels coming.
