A Novel in First Chapters.
An emotionally-charged novel that tells the tale of a Lebanese woman growing up in Beirut and living in America.
'I, The Divine' is a novel purportedly opening as a memoir, made up of first chapters as the protagonist, Sarah, struggles to find a way to tell her story but abandons each different perspective, be it her own aged 7, or 17, or her adult sister's many years later.
As first chapter follows first chapter, Alameddine builds up a rich portrait, not only of Sarah but of her extraordinary extended hybrid family formed by divorce and remarriage, of Beirut in wartime, of her mother's suicide, her sister's madness, her ex-husbands, her son.
