An interesting look at how other cultures function (or fail to) within our American cultural system. Sometimes funny, often ironic, and worth a read.

This book is a fantastic character study, as well as a study of how communities form and operate, and a window into the lives of Algerian refugees. Both enjoyable and thought-provoking, therefore a perfect book.
A very interesting story that demonstrates how hard it is to make it as a new American immigrant. I still felt like i wanted to know more about the characters' backgrounds, but maybe that is how the author wanted it - to leave us guessing. Looking forward to reading more books by the author.
