An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine [View all]

Picked it off a list of good books, can't remember where. When I picked it up today I said to myself, "what a crazy title. Why did you request this?" Went out to the car and opened the book and sat there for 20 minutes! Excellent book. Set in Beirut. Current history. Great information re culture. End of the day and I am half way thru the book. Recommend! If you like things outside our culture, try it.
