Description:  291 pages ; 22 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Aaliya Sohbi lives alone in her Beirut apartment, surrounded by stockpiles of books. Godless, fatherless, childless, and divorced, Aaliya is her family's 'unnecessary appendage.' Every year, she translates a new favorite book into Arabic, then stows it away. The thirty-seven books that Aaliya has translated over her lifetime have never been read-- by anyone. After overhearing her neighbors, 'the three witches,' discussing her too-white hair, Aaliya accidentally dyes her hair too blue. In this breathtaking portrait of a reclusive woman's late-life crisis, readers follow Aaliya's digressive mind as it ricochets across visions of past and present Beirut. Colorful musings on literature, philosophy, and art are invaded by memories of the Lebanese Civil War and Aaliya's own volatile past. As she tries to overcome her aging body and spontaneous emotional upwellings, Aaliya is faced with an unthinkable disaster that threatens to shatter the little life she has left" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Alameddine pb Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction ALAMEDDINE   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked out 05/21/2024 Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Fiction Alameddine   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
