Dreams from the Endz is the story of twenty-four-year-old Ahlème, who is spirited, sassy and wise but has more problems than she knows how to deal with. Her father, The Boss, is permanently disabled after an accident on a building site, her sixteen-year-old brother, Foued, has been permanently excluded from school and seems intent on joining the drug-dealers who share their estate, while she is left to deal with the guilt trips from their family back in Algeria. But when she returns home - after a ten-year absence - she brokers a kind of truce, both with her homeland and the need to forge a future.

Älskar hennes språk och ville gärna ge boken en trea bara därför. Guene skriver roligt och träffsäkert. Tyvärr engagerade berättelsen mig inte alls. Bara det att det tog mig två veckor att läsa ut den...(andra böcker lockade mer under tiden).

Jag gillar Faïza Guènes berättarstil. Hon besriver livet i Paris förortsbetong med en livfull, och stilfull, sarkasm utan försköning. Det är vardagsrealism i fyra nyanser av grått, inget krusidull.
