Great African Reads discussion

This thread is for the May/June 2025 read of Discretion by Faïza Guène.
These months has two reads - So I've set up threads for both of them, but not a separate spoiler/non-spoiler thread - just the one :)
Feel free to discuss book editions, availability, expectations, impressions and thoughts!

Did anyone get their hands on a copy of this?

Thanks for the reminder. I really want to read this one. I will try to fit it in. I'm annoyed my e-libraries don't have it but the e-book is a reasonable price I see :)

looks like my library has one copy of the e-book, so I've just borrowed it. I will get to it after I finish the Lalami pick

I'm planning on starting next week as well. It's seems quite a short read.

I've started the book and find the short chapter format quite interesting - it allows for multiple points of view as we meet each family member and the incorporation of the historical aspect. I know nothing about the Algerian struggle for independence so this will be a learning experience for me.
