Infos

One of The Atlantic's Great American NovelsNamed after the "e;divine"e; Sarah Bernhardt, red-haired Sarah Nour El-Din is "e;wonderful, irresistibly unique, funny, and amazing,"e; raves Amy Tan. Determined to make of her life a work of art, she tries to tell her story, sometimes casting it as a memoir, sometimes a novel, always fascinatingly incomplete. "e;Alameddine's new novel unfolds like a secret... creating a tale...humorous and heartbreaking and always real"e; (Los Angeles Times). "e;[W]ith each new approach, [Sarah] sheds another layer of her pretension, revealing another truth about her humanity"e; (San Francisco Weekly). Raised in a hybrid family shaped by divorce and remarriage, and by Beirut in wartime, Sarah finds a fragile peace in self-imposed exile in the United States. Her extraordinary dignity is supported by a best friend, a grown-up son, occasional sensual pleasures, and her determination to tell her own story. "e;Like her narrative, [Sarah's] life is broken and fragmented. [But] the bright, strange, often startling pieces...are moving and memorable"e; (Boston Globe). Reading group guide included.
