Status Updates From The Storyteller of Casablanca

I’m really enjoying this. Easy to read but the authors done a good job of invoking the rich scenes of Casablanca, the times under nazi occupation, and the loneliness of motherhood and a marriage in 2010. I like all the characters and wish the best for them.

But this is WW2. There are no happy endings just less sad ones

“Can we really imagine how it must feel to be so afraid of what lies behind you that you are prepared to throw yourself headlong into an unknown that is going to be filled with danger and loneliness? Leaving behind your family and your culture and seeking something better in a land where you are not welcome and you are not understood?”
