A Bookshop in Algiers by Kaouther Adimi
5.0

I love books written by author from Maghreb as they tell stories we didn't heard before and add their view to the story.
A Bookshop in Algiers is a delightful, poignant and interesting read that made us travel in time and discover Edmond Charlot, a French-Algerian who founded a bookshop in Algiers. This is the story of his bookshop but also the story of a country and of people who played an important role in culture like Camus.
I loved the style of writing and loved this bitter-sweet story as the style of writing is excellent and the plot kept me hooked.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
