Description
Aminatta Forna's novel Happiness explores the interconnectedness of lives and our co-existence with one another and all living creatures. A chance encounter between two strangers, Jean and Attila, sets in motion a delicate tale of love, loss, cruelty, and kindness. As they navigate their respective tasks and personal struggles, Forna masterfully weaves together themes of trauma, society, and grief. Through the lens of this unlikely friendship, she invites us to consider the complexities of human experience and the nature of happiness itself. With subtlety and nuance, Forna crafts a narrative that is both poignant and thought-provoking, encouraging readers to reflect on their own relationships with others and the world around them.
