Desert | Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio

3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

After being driven from their land by French colonial soldiers in 1909, Nour and his people, "the blue men" must search for a haven out of the desert that will shelter them. Interspersed with the story of Nour is the contemporary story of Lalla, a descendent of the blue men, who lives in Morocco and tries to stay true to the blood of her ancestors while experiencing life as a modern immigrant.

so-so

Sigh.

So beautifully written or else it would have been a complete Pan.

This book was extremely frustrating for me. There are two narratives that take place decades apart that don‘t really connect. And the main character just walks. And walks. And walks. And then walks some more (really), and the author describes EVERY LITTLE THING she sees along the way.

Le Clezio has immense talent but this book was tedious in the extreme.

I‘m reading about the desert on snowy day.

It doesn‘t often snow in #NorthernIreland!

My French friend loves this author and gave this to me for Christmas. I don't usually dream of a warmer climate as, strangely, I like the rainy Northern Irish climate.
