4.0étoiles sur 5 well crafted, Déc 31 2006
Par Darlene McDonough "darlenem68" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: In The Country Of Men (Hardcover)
In the summer of 1979, nine year old Suleiman el-Dewani is forced to learn some very difficult lessons on life and politics in his native country of Libya. The only child of twenty-four year old Najwa, and thirty-three year old Faraj, Suleiman is the centre of his mother's universe. When his father is repeatedly away on what Suleiman is told are 'business trips' his young mother always takes ill and needs her 'medicine', which she serepitiously purchases from the local bakery owner as this type of medicine is illegal. On the frequent occasions when his mother is deep into her medicinal haze, Suleiman hears her stories of family secrets and bears the burden of his mother's sadness at the loss of her youth and her sorrow at having been pushed into a marriage at the tender age of fourteen to a man she did not know.
When Suleiman, out shopping with his mother, sees his father across the marketplace when he has been told his father is away on business, he becomes confused and intrigued as to why he has been lied to. As they are driving home, Suleiman and his mother are escorted by a government car, right up to their driveway. The subterfuge and intrigue continue and throughout the course of the summer, young Suleiman learns in very personal and profound ways about what it means to stand up for your beliefs against seemingly insurmountable odds, and how some are even willing to die for their beliefs.
Narrated by the now grown Suleiman, Matar weaves a poignant story about a lonely boy who is thrust into the adult world all to quickly and it is the events of the summer of his ninth year that shape the course of his life.
Beautifully written, touching, and highly recommended.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Hard to get into, Janv. 12 2008
Par Earth Element (Northern Alberta) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: In The Country Of Men (Paperback)
As the back cover states, the book is written with the mind frame of a 9 yr old child. The descriptive way things are written are wonderful and there were parts of his innocence that made me snicker.

The confusion this boy has in grasping the reality of an adult world & making sense of what is going on politically with his family, his community, makes the book hard to stay focused through however.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Powerful story, Janv. 27 2007
Par Sancho Mahle (Charlotte, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: In The Country Of Men (Hardcover)
This very powerful and touching novel is not only revealing but also opens our minds to more questions, the most powerful of which is the problem of freedom in a land haunted by limited civil liberties and the strong man, a diseases that is still plaguing Africa today. From books like Triple Agent Double Cross, Nervous Conditions, Wizard of the Crows, Union Moujik, we get a vivid picture of living in unfree societies.
