An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine
5.0
This is a wonderful book! I absolutely loved the voice of Aaliyah, and her reminisces and thoughts on life. Living in an apartment in war torn Beirut, she spends most of her days reading and translating the books she loves. Estranged from her family and semi-reclusive, she has little contact with neighbors or friends, and considers herself to be a solitary creature. She slowly unravels the story of her life for the reader.
This is a book for readers. This is a book for everyone! Wonderful, heartbreaking, and inspiring, this is definitely one of my favorite reads of 2015. I really admire Mr Alameddine, he does an amazing job shaping a wonderful, believable, and ultimately lovable character.
