A Bookshop in Algiers by Kaouther Adimi

On a quiet backstreet in Algiers is an unremarkable building with a remarkable history ...

Truly potent.. Adimi confronts us with episodes that are simply never spoken of in France * The New York Times Book Review *
If you're in a bookshop browsing, then A Bookshop In Algiers is for you, by definition. A beautiful little novel about books, history, ambition and the importance of literature to everyone, especially people who are trying to find a voice. -- Nick Hornby
A Bookshop in Algiers reminds us that in literature, as in life, we belong to a place only temporarily - and we shape it according to our memories * Financial Times *
A splendid declaration of love to literature * Elle *
Adimi refuses to make Charlot's life a tragedy. Instead, she's told a moving story of his efforts to push so many worthy writers toward posterity's heights. * Harper's *
A beautiful and bittersweet book * New Books magazine *
