Still working on it...it's many heavy topics converging on this event. Especially right now. But the writer is a good at engaging and explaining!

Devouring this

This is on my shelf-will finish someday

Just trying to get started! Am finding it hard to stick to a book but this one won the Booker last year and the first translated from Arabic to win this prize.
