A review by asurges
An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine

5.0

A beautifully written (and sometimes funny) book told from the point of a view of a Lebanese woman who has lived alone for the past sixty-some years, translating a piece of literature annually. The book takes us through four days in her life, with her often switching in between the present and past and back to an in-between past, much like our own ruminations.
