Not the tagged book, but Khemiri‘s latest novel is not in the database

Wow! Just WOW! This book is amazing. About 3 sisters, Ina, Evelyn and Anastasia. The book starts as the world is heading into a new millennium and the sisters are in their 20s and we follow them until after the pandemic.

Three‘s also a storyteller, telling us about the sisters in the 90s and how he came in contact with them.

A book about family, absent parents and kids

AnneCecilie who take on too much responsibility too soon, about mental illness and how that affects the family. Khemiri is part Swedish and part Tunisian, and all the main characters in this novel is that as well, so it‘s about how that effect you. We watch them as life change and change again. (edited) 3mo

Pickpick

Pontius Pilate offered the people a choice (to keep his own hands clean): The Messiah or Barabbas. Pilate was sure no one wanted to free Barabbas, but he was wrong. No one talks about how this substitution affected Barabbas. What made him worth this 2nd chance? What if he just can‘t make himself believe? I love this short search for identity. Excellent read. 239/1,001 #1001Books December‘s #TBRTarot: author whose last name begins w/ “L”

CBee Awesome 👏🏻 8mo

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!
