Picked this one up after it caught my attention on the International Booker shortlist earlier in the year, and it was definitely unique! I really enjoy books that take a look at the jobs many people deem unworthy of much thought at all, and in this case it’s security guards. My favourite parts were the overarching eye of the guards at Sephora on the Champs-Elysée, as my focus at this time of year is not its best and these sections were super short and razor sharp. The other sections narrated by two Ivorian security guards sometimes got bogged down in detail, but were still an interesting read.
