Description
Stranded by volcanic ash in Addis Ababa and grieving her mother’s recent death, Canadian-Ethiopian flight attendant Dessie heads to see her grandfather. But Dessie’s conflicted past stands in her way and her mother’s death causes seismic disruptions in the fine balance of self-deceptions and false histories that uphold her family.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“With her plane unexpectedly grounded in Addis Ababa, Dessie, burdened with secrets and mourning the death of her mother, is forced to confront a history that is different from what she'd been raised to believe. Featuring gorgeous prose and a most compellingly prickly narrator, Fisseha's debut novel is a puzzle, a page-turner, and a triumph.”—Kerry Clare, author of Mitzi Bytes
“Fisseha’s assured debut straddles two worlds and is vividly, insightfully, embedded in both. She takes on some of the trickiest of family and cultural dilemmas with affection and beady-eyed aplomb.”—Aida Edemariam, author of The Wife's Tale
“A story of trauma and reckoning, of flight and return, told honestly, written boldly.”—Tessa McWatt, author of Higher Ed
