I started this book for the second time last night. Nothing at all should be read into "second time" - the first time I was minding a market stall and there was so much activity around me I had trouble concentrating and there's some intricate naming conventions for the excellent cast of characters that meant I really needed to have my mind on the job in the early couple of chapters. Once you're through that - well I'm sailing through this one.
Searching my albeit shakey memory these days I can't remember reading another book with a Palestinian viewpoint so this is utterly fascinating. And I just love a scruffy, slightly erratic central character - and I suspect that Omar Yussef is going to fall into that category.
Anyway, this is a book for review - so more on it to follow.
Whoops - sorry, so far I've not created an entry for this book in the database. It could be because it's not from Australasia - in which case I may never add extra information (otherwise maintaining this thing will kill me!) If it is a local book - fear not, I'm just behind as usual.
