Diving for Pearls | Jamie O’Connell

3 posts | 2 read

A young woman's body floats in the Dubai marina. Her death alters the fates of six people, each one striving for a better life in an unforgiving city. A young Irish man comes to stay with his sister, keen to erase his troubled past in the heat of the Dubai sun. A Russian sex worker has outsmarted the system so far - but will her luck run out? A Pakistani taxi driver dreams of a future for his daughters. An Emirate man hides the truth about who he really is. An Ethiopian maid tries to carve out a path of her own. From every corner of the globe, Dubai has made promises to them all. Promises of gilded opportunities and bright new horizons, the chance to forget the past and protect long-held secrets. But Dubai breaks its promises, with deadly consequences. In a city of mirages, how do you find your way out?

This really didn't do anything for me - I get the feeling it was aiming for profound & thought provoking but instead it was shallow & pretentious. It just didn't go anywhere or say anything - various things happened to certain people (who I struggled to care about) and that was that. The murder is never fully explained & certain characters' storylines don't get resolved at all. Unsatisfying.

Starting this one tonight. My last read took forever and seemed hard going at times - current events in Ukraine have my anxiety spiking and my ability to concentration and focus is just kaput.
