A review by efuaesaba
The Embassy of Cambodia by Zadie Smith
4.0
I didn't know I could be blown away by such a short book.
It's only 60-odd pages but it's a very unique slice of life. Fatou is so sensible and down-to-earth, yet living a life that's extraordinary to most of us. It's sad without being tragic because it's so realistic and ordinary. I was very close to buying everyone I knew a copy for Christmas!
Definitely need to read more of Zadie Smith's work
