Review: The Other Americans

The Other Americans The Other Americans by Laila Lalami
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've been reading so much pop fiction lately that this book felt like a breath of fresh air--literary and made me think. Each short chapter is told from a different person's POV, but luckily the book jacket reminded me who a lot of the people were since I'm horrible with names. When a Moroccan-American restaurant owner is killed in a hit-and-run in his town by the Mojave desert, it's bit of a mystery. Was it murder or an accident? Secrets are exposed, and I loved the chapters from the POV of the man's daughter Nora. I'd read a whole book just based on her. Lots of wonderful subtle details in this book.
