Description

A startlingly sassy coming-of-age tale that realistically imagines the time when a girl feels she's on the outside, looking in. In the case of Doria, Guene's 15-year-old narrator, it is all too true. A child of Moroccan immigrants in France, the bellicose Doria is a cynical Muslim teenager in a Parisian suburb. Abandoned by her father, she and her mother inhabit a small flat in a concrete project far from the glamour, culture, and good schools in Paris. Doria is taunted for being different; her goodwill wardrobe, her family's poverty, and her poor learning skills all seem to point to the same destiny: a future without hope. Out of this clash of cultures, Doria struggles to find her place and escape the malaise she feels about her life.
