A review by azu_rikka
An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine

4.0

Just finished my first re-read of this compelling novel.
I truly enjoy Aaliya's sardonic character, her sharp observations and beautiful descriptions.
Although there are too many authors, poets, composers and musicians mentioned, I was surprised that since my first read (about 3 years ago) I recognized more names and tangents.
I don't devour this book, I savour it!
