Guène is very evidently a natural novelist, a young writer of real talent' Allan Massie, Scotsman
Dreams from the Endz is the story of twenty-four Ahlème, who is spirited, sassy and wise but has more problems than she knows how to deal with. Her father, The Boss, is permanently disabled after an accident on a building site, her sixteen-year-old brother, Foued, has been permanently excluded from school and seems intent on joining the drug-dealers who share their estate, while she is left to deal with the guilt trips from their family back in Algeria. But when she returns home - after a ten-year absence - she brokers a kind of truce, both with her homeland and the need to forge a future.
Faiza Guene's extraordinary new novel explores what happens to people when a lid is put on their dreams and, through Ahlème, gives a voice to those often denied one.
'Super-young, super-cool and fast becoming known as one of the hottest literary talents of multicultural Europe, Guène takes us on a tour of the tough suburbs of Paris and Algeria, where having the wrong-colour passport sentences you to a half-life. Our heroine...is an unforgettable narrator' Sunday Telegraph
'Ahlème has a wit, wisdom and charisma that puts the reader firmly on her side as she does her best to find the small scraps of hope she needs to keep her going in tough situations' Metro
