Review: The Parisian

The Parisian by Isabella Hammad
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This tells the story of 19 year old Midhat Kamal as he leaves his home in Nablus in 1914, to travel to France to study medicine. He spends some time in Paris and earns the nickname, the Parisian..there is a failed romance, after which Midhat goes a little wild in the jublilant France after the war...

But when returning home he feels a bit lost and that he no longer belongs…

A beautifully written tale, of politics, love and religion in a turbulent time. This is not a quick read, but one to take your time over.

I would like to thank the Author/the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for free in exchange for a fair and honest review
