mandrea 's review for:

Dottie by Abdulrazak Gurnah

4.0

---

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that it got to breathe, and we got to watch Dottie blossom slowly, even as others around her self destruct. I really enjoyed the quick references to what was happening in the world at the time to orient us, and also really liked the section on Dottie's imposter syndrome.

I will have to check out more of Gurnah's work.
