The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida | Shehan Karunatilaka
post image
Pickpick

Maali, a war photographer, gambler and closeted gay wakes up in the afterlife after being murdered. He has seven moons to decide between going into the light or staying in this world with other ghosts who are trying to avenge their deaths. He is not as concerned with who killed him, all he wants is his photographs to see the light. I felt lost during certain parts, I knew nothing about Sri Lanka's history or culture and after reading the book ⬇️

nanuska_153 I still don't really know much about it, but it does sound interesting. There's a small attempt at the beginning to explain what the initials to the different factions involved in the war represent, but not detailed enough to learn what it really means, except that everyone is evil. I really loved the parts that were more centered on the characters, because I knew what was going on. ⬇️ 22h
nanuska_153 I think I'll re-read it once I get a chace to educate myself, because it's clear that the story is much richer than what I could get from the surface with my limited knowledge 22h
Graywacke Great book. Glad you enjoyed it! 21h

This book posed a great case for taking a vacation in Italy (as if I needed to be coerced), but I have SO many questions about the plot. Fine for a beach read—but ultimately not able to satisfy my curiosity about too many issues.

I loved this sweet little book! It took me a minute to get into it, but when I finished I immediately read it again. I love this fantasy of dreams and how they come to us. It's a great palate-cleanser of a story that allows you to relax and get involved with the characters, but it also makes you think about your subconscious.

Posh_Salad Okay. I already added this book, but a couple days ago my feed showed I hadn't added a book in 3 months so I redid this one. Now it's here again. Oh well. The review is better. 🤷🏾‍♀️ 3d

May has not been a good reading month for me. I have admittedly had a lot going on which may be part of it, but this is another DNF for me. The story just didn‘t grab me really at all…

I picked up this book SOLELY for the fact that Vico Ortiz read for one of the characters, and this is such a heart warming story?? Coming of age magical realism about accepting yourself in every way possible, I loved it and immediately recommended it to a friend lol.
