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. \"Alameddine's new novel unfolds like a secret... creating a tale...humorous and heartbreaking and always real\" (Los Angeles Times). \"[W]ith each new approach, [Sarah] sheds another layer of her pretension, revealing another truth about her humanity\" (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. \"Like her narrative, [Sarah's] life is broken and fragmented. [But] the bright, strange, often startling pieces...are moving and memorable\" (Boston Globe).
