Years ago and worlds away Sepha could never have imagined a life of such isolation.

But when a series of racial incidents disturbs the community, Sepha may lose everything all over again.
subtle 但是同一本書涉及話題太多 American Dreams, dislocation, gentrification, racism, social class看的有點雜
評分一個埃塞移民的“美國夢”故事,在異國他鄉,仇恨、恐懼和孤獨都化為虛無,隻有愛和希望的影子在破敗的街角忽隱忽現。很容易跟去年大熱的 Americanah聯係起來,主角都是高度自覺和敏感的非洲知識分子,隻不過有性彆差異:他們都在不斷地奮鬥、經曆挫摺、自我懷疑,他們都嘗試去融入、去理解、去愛,但這一本明顯比Americanah更現實,更悲觀。
