I, the Divine
ByPublisher Description
"Alameddine's new novel unfolds like a secret... creating a tale...humorous and heartbreaking and always real" (
). "[W]ith each new approach, [Sarah] sheds another layer of her pretension, revealing another truth about her humanity" (
). Raised in a hybrid family shaped by divorce and remarriage, and by Beirut in wartime, Sarah finds a fragile peace in self-imposed exile in the United States. Her extraordinary dignity is supported by a best friend, a grown-up son, occasional sensual pleasures, and her determination to tell her own story. "Like her narrative, [Sarah's] life is broken and fragmented. [But] the bright, strange, often startling pieces...are moving and memorable" (
). Reading group guide included.

“This book, like all of Alameddine’s work, will stay with me. I loved the “novel in first chapters” idea and how it echoed Sarah’s persistent set of fresh starts and her unwillingness to give up on living life and loving with her whole self. The weaving of war-related trauma and family drama felt authentic in its pacing and subtlety (or lack thereof). Definitely recommend.”
