4.0 out of 5 stars a tiny package of entertainment, 31 Mar 2008
By 
This review is from: Just Like Tomorrow (Paperback)
When I saw Faiza's book had been compared to Bridget Jones' Diary, I didn't expect much - simply a day of light, entertaining reading. Nevertheless, I found surprising depth in this book, although at times it takes a very French eye to appreciate the humour. Faiza parades a fascinating array of characters, all illuminating of the French banlieux experience in their own way. I think in England, a book this short would be called a novella, but it's a good debut nonetheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting voice from the suburbs, 23 May 2008
By 
Sofia (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Like Tomorrow (Paperback)
Guene's short novel is a great read; in Doria she has created an engaging character full of humour and imaginative asides spun from her exposure to television. There are plenty of subtle side-stories chronicling the perils of living in the poorest suburbs of Paris - stolen cars, drugs, children failing at school, social workers etc - but this is ultimately an uplifting tale of hope, of rising above one's origins and circumstances, through the beautifully rendered naivity of a 15 year old. Guene's tale also gives an insight into a largely foreign France, into a world peopled by immigrants from North Africa and showcases the culture clash in expectations between the two worlds brilliantly.

An enjoyable and often funny read - you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jusqu'a ici, ca va., 19 Sep 2006
This review is from: Just Like Tomorrow (Paperback)
For Doria, reality holds no enchantment. Her father has left for Morocco to find a younger, more fecund woman, and she and her mother live in a sprawling council estate outside Paris. So she retreats into a world created from her dreams, whilst trying to set up her mother with the owner of the corner shop. Thoughtful and entertaining, Guene hints at the light in the darkness of being born between cultures.
