Against the Loveless World: A Novel by Susan Abulhawa
From the internationally bestselling author of the &“terrifically
affecting&” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) Mornings in Jenin, a sweeping
and lyrical novel that follows a young Palestinian refugee as she
slowly becomes radicalized while searching for a better life for her
family throughout the Middle East, for readers of international
literary bestsellers including Washington Black, My Sister, The Serial
Killer, and Her Body and Other Parties.As Nahr sits, locked away in
solitary confinement, she spends her days reflecting on the dramatic
events that landed her in prison in a country she barely knows. Born
in Kuwait in the 70s to Palestinian refugees, she dreamed of falling
in love with the perfect man, raising children, and possibly opening
her own beauty salon. Instead, the man she thinks she loves jilts her
after a brief marriage, her family teeters on the brink of poverty,
she&’s forced to prostitute herself, and the US invasion of Iraq makes
her a refugee, as her parents had been. After trekking through another
temporary home in Jordan, she lands in Palestine, where she finally
makes a home, falls in love, and her destiny unfolds under Israeli
occupation. Nahr&’s subversive humor and moral ambiguity will resonate
with fans of My Sister, The Serial Killer, and her dark, contemporary
struggle places her as the perfect sister to Carmen Maria Machado&’s
Her Body and Other Parties. Written with Susan Abulhawa&’s distinctive
&“richly detailed, beautiful, and resonant&” (Publishers Weekly)
prose, this powerful novel presents a searing, darkly funny, and
wholly unique portrait of a Palestinian woman who refuses to be a victim.

Whew, that's a bit much for me right now. All I want to read is escape
lit. I want to read about places as far away from and as different
from what's going on today. More power to you, old friend. I can't
say enjoy your read, but be enlightened would I guess be my good wish for you.
No thank you, uh-uh, not for me. Give me Anne McCaffrey, J.A. Jance,
Miss Read, David Weber and Taylor Anderson! Things are getting to the
point where I may want to drag out Elizabeth Goudge's The Dean's Watch.
I need a shot of faith in the arm. I sure as heck don't need to be
depressed any more than I am right now.
HTH,
Ann P.
Original message:
Has something changed? I was looking for a book just now, Against The
Loveless World, and I found it, but I didn't find what usually follows the
title, which is a description and then my preferred download method. Folks
who know me, know that I'm not especially adept technologically so if things
have been changed, I'm clueless. Can someone help please?
