Angelou is a single woman in Cyprus who runs a "coffee shop" for women. The story starts with the death of her friend, Avraam Salih, a man born to a Christian and a Muslim and thus widely ostracized on the island.↘️
Lindy @ReadingEnvy Did you intend to write a longer review? 2y
ReadingEnvy @Lindy ha, yes! I am easily distracted right now. See below. 2y
ReadingEnvy I like that the author is Cypriot but the contents are better suited to a short story. Lines and scenes are repeated frequently for no apparent reason and this made it a bit of a slog to read. I appreciate that she had people along a sex and gender spectrum and navigating religious difference in different ways, and the scene where she confronts a priest is pretty great. 2y
Lindy @ReadingEnvy I‘m glad you added the second part to your review, because now I‘m intrigued, even though you don‘t fully endorse the book. 2y
