Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday


This remarkable piece of literary fiction has it all: romance, intrigue, mystery, suspense, and politics. The novel is two separate stories. The first is a romance between a young female writer and a much older man. The second is about a young Iraqi living in the United States. I found it to be smartly written, especially the dialogue and banter between these most interesting, unforgettable characters. This is a sophisticated book from an amazingly talented first-time author.
