AliCorbin reviewed Crescent by Diana Abu-Jaber
Review of 'Crescent' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A sweet little love story. The author was aiming for a retelling of Othello, but sort of missed. Instead of a tragedy, she ended up with a fairy tale, in which people fall in love in a flash and everyone is just too perfect. And which is mirrored by the fable dribbled out by Sirine's uncle through the course of the book.
The writing was lovely. Food as a metaphor for, well, just about everything.
