How do you live in Algeria when you grow up speaking French, with a
French mother? How do you live in France when you've spent your
childhood in Algeria with an Algerian father? "Tomboy" 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, "Tomboy" enters the
innermost reality of a life lived on the edge of several cultures.
