Description
Doria's life in the Paradise Estate on the outskirts of Paris is marked by hardship and struggle. Her father has left to find a wife who can give him a son, while her mother works hard to make ends meet with a cleaning job at a motel. Doria faces rejection from school, where she had hoped to pursue a career as a hairdresser, but finds solace in friendships like that with Hamoudi and support from psychologist Mrs Burland. Despite the difficulties she faces, Doria is determined not to be down-trodden and humiliated. With her wit and resilience, she navigates the challenges of growing up in a difficult environment. This powerful first novel explores themes of family, social class, and identity, offering a unique voice and perspective on life in contemporary France. Faïza Guène's debut novel tells the story of Doria's journey towards self-discovery and empowerment, as she finds her own path forward despite the obstacles that surround her.
