Sam ReviewI could not put this book down. "Sam" is a beautifully written and insightful novel. Having spent a year abroad in Paris myself, Koa Beck's romantic style perfectly captures the excitement and uncertainty of how it feels to drift alone as an American in a foreign country. Beck accurately and fairly depicts both the beautiful side of Paris and the dirty, dark, and unfamiliar. Her characters are complex, real and accessible. They interact in such a manner that the reader feels very much in the room with them, wandering down the alleys and dancing in the "boites". In many ways, this book recalled some wonderful and also some not-so-great memories: bewildered at a table of French native speakers, trying to make sense of your own place abroad, batting off over-zealous Frenchmen, and even just making sense of the city.
Perhaps the most touching aspect of the novel is the way in which she explores nationality and the idea of "home". Through her main character Sam, Beck explores coming to terms with both French and American lineage, while her narrator simply searches for a means to belong.
Beck's book is a charming - and sometimes gritty - portrait of life and relationships that shows an acute and sensitive understanding of human experience.
Definitely the best Kindle purchase I've made in a while!!Sam OverviewSam is a half-French, half-American youth living in contemporary Paris. His midnight meanderings through the city are narrated by a young, lost American girl he happens upon one night in an alley. The narrator follows Sam through a series of apartments, bars, and nightclubs as he confesses his reluctance to identify as "half American." Under the haze of kirs and red wine, Sam describes the conflicting expectations of his dual-passported family, his desire to stay in France, and how he will never be the kind of son his American father demands he be. Intertwined with stories from Sam's bilingual childhood, as well as from lycée, this portrait of transcontinental adolescence includes the lives and accents of Sam's young compatriots. In an increasing effort to understand Sam and his personal conflict, the narrator finds herself struggling with her ability to communicate in another country, her own identity, and her place as a foreigner.
