Dès votre arrivée à Alger, il vous faudra prendre les rues en pente, les monter puis les descendre. Vous tomberez sur Didouche-Mourad, traversée par de nombreuses ruelles comme par une centaine d'histoires, à quelques pas d'un pont que se partagent suicidés et amoureux.

A Bookshop in Algiers Review
A Bookshop in Algiers by Kaouther Adimi is a 208 page Historical Fiction Stand-Alone novel, which I read as a 4.5 hour audiobook via Nextory.
In 1936, a young dreamer named Edmond Charlot opened a modest bookshop in Algiers. Once the heart of Algerian cultural life, where Camus launched his first book and the Free French printed propaganda during the war, Charlot's beloved bookshop has been closed for decades, living on as a government lending library. Now it is to be shuttered forever. But as a young man named Ryad empties it of its books, he begins to understand that a bookshop can be much more than just a shop that sells books. A Bookshop in Algiers charts the changing fortunes of Charlot's bookshop through the political drama of Algeria's turbulent twentieth century of war, revolution and independence.
I rate this book 2/5 stars.
To be honest, I just remember disliking the book and being glad that it was only 4.5 hours. Which on 1.5x speed is even shorter. But for the life of me I cannot tell you what it is about or what exactly happens within it. I don’t know if it was the fact that I listened to it on audio or I couldn’t connect the story, but to me personally it was completely forgettable.
If you have some time to spare, want to read something quick or have a reading challenge to complete, sure go for it. If not, please, do yourself a favour and skip this one.
