La description
A remarkable debut from Canadian-Coptic writer, Mina Athanassious, who takes readers into the heartbreaking world of Coptic children coming of age in Egypt. “All Good Things Thrown Away” delves into Egypt’s notorious Garbage City and the lives of Cairo’s garbage collectors. The title story moves to a small remote village in southern Egypt where a ten-year-old boy struggles with a family tragedy. A Face Like the Moon marks a bold and original new voice in Canadian fiction. To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit. ly/2lVGQwI
Reviews
"Athanassious is quite intentionally panoramic, sharing with the reader the sights and sounds and smells of youth in a range of circumstances. ..[A] collection [that] neatly demonstrate[s] how the borders of the world can at times seem expansive and, at others, paralyzingly small. " —Shawn Syms, Quill & Quire
