Our discussion of June Kim's 12 Days was really fascinating. 12 Days was an unusual book - a graphic novel in the style of Japanese manga, by a Korean author, with lesbian content! The story revolves around the main character's mourning of her ex-lover's death. Everything from how the graphic novel affected us to the ethics of grieving came up. Fabulous. I'm only sorry I had to leave early. Here's a good review if you're interested.
March's title is Stealing Nasreen, by Toronto-based writer Farzana Doctor. A Quill and Quire review says: “The process of leaving one’s country and finding a sense of belonging in another is often rife with uncertainty and turmoil. What makes Stealing Nasreen such a riveting read is the way it takes this uncertainty and makes it even more complex by adding sexuality and desire to the angst-filled immigrant experience."
