Review: The Age of Reinvention

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! (Although I have no idea what day it is, my concept of time is off šŸ˜) I’m officially back from my mini vacation to Atlanta! (I had a great time!) Today I’m going to be reviewing Karine Tuil’s novelĀ The Age of Reinvention.

The Age of Reinvention

The Age of Reinvention by: Karine Tuil: Sam Taharā€™s whole life is based on a lie he told to get a job as lawyer. Passing as Jewish and stealing his best friend Samuel Baronā€™s life story, he is no longer Samir Tahar a poor Muslin, but rich, Jewish lawyer, Sam Tahar. Twenty years later the truth is threatening to come out and now Sam has to figure out what he must do to set the record straight. This novel started off slow and very confusing. The format was also different with long bits of dialogue all bunched together in paragraphs; it was something to get used to. It took time to break this novel in, and woah what a story; the twists and turns are incredible, the plot as a whole was ingenious. The characters were phenomenal; they had so much depth and felt absolutely real. This novel dives into religion and brings to light prejudices from France that North Americans would never know existed. This novel proves that if you think North America is bad, Europe is no better, making this novel very eye opening and worth reading.
