Mr. and Mrs. Doctor par Julie Iromuanya
A great book about marriage, capitalism, racism, immigration, class, so many important topics, handled so beautifully & subtly, with an ending worthy of Flaubert's Sentimental Education.
Job and Ifi are living breathing three dimensional characters who are somehow dropped into a plot that feels like a piece of Ikea furniture still disassembled and in its box. Is it a table? Is it a bookcase? the two central characters are so strong and believable, so I had high hopes, and even though I'm being harsh here I'm glad to have met these fictional characters. But their story is a muddle full of contradiction, melodrama, and coincidence. The ancillary characters behave in ways that completely baffled me. It reads like a terrific first draft.… (plus d'informations)
An incredible debut novel by Julie Iromuanya. This is a story of an arranged marriage of Job and Ifi, a Nigerian couple beginning their life together in a cold and inhospitable Nebraska. A complicated story of leaving one culture and trying, yet, never quite fitting into another. A heart breaker but highly recommended.
