Description
A witty and thought-provoking novel about life in modern Italy, Divorce Islamic Style explores the complexities of multicultural society through the eyes of its characters. Christian Mazzari, a young Sicilian translator, goes undercover to infiltrate a group of Muslim immigrants suspected of planning a terrorist attack. Meanwhile, Sofia, an Egyptian immigrant, is on a secret mission of her own - defying her husband's wishes and pursuing a career. As the story unfolds in alternating voices, Amara Lakhous sheds light on the absurdities and contradictions of modern Italy. With its unique blend of rationality and humor, this novel offers a fresh perspective on life in a globalized world.
