How do you live in France when you've spent your childhood in Algeria with an Algerian father? \u003ci\u003eTomboy\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a girl whose father calls her Brio, whose alter ego is Amine, and whose mother is a blue-eyed blond. But who is she? Born five years after Algerian independence in 1967, she navigates the cultural, emotional, and linguistic boundaries of identity living in a world that doesn't seem to recognize her. In this semiautobiographical novel, the young French Algerian author Nina Bouraoui introduces us to a girl who feels that Algeria is the country of men. Her childhood years spent in Algeria lead her to explore the borderland between genders as she tries to find her balance between nations, races, and identities. With prose modeling the rhythm of the seasons and the sea, \u003ci\u003eTomboy\u003c\/i\u003e enters the innermost reality of a life lived on the edge of several cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nina Bouraoui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803262590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803262591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.50w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/24\/2007 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 48","brand":"Nina Bouraoui","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981249970431,"sku":"9780803262591","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f926cc78-3c79-4318-991c-d4b79d54d603.jpg?v=1683254484","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tomboy-nina-bouraoui-9780803262591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
