review 1: Good book. Very different. I don't think there is another book just like this one in bookstores. A rare find. There is a lot to learn in this book, I would say. One gets to understand and learn about a culture and it's practices, however unfair or gruesome it might be. The author writes with a lot of frustration, anger and a sense of desperation that I could feel as a reader, which speaks a lot of the quality of this novel. Some parts a a little hard to read, it's gritty and is painful to pass through those pages. I found a great deal of satisfaction in reading this book. It has all that a book should have, love, loss and pain. There are some unrealistic elements in this book though. I find that the writer has a lot of hatred for Saudi Arabian lifestyle and culture, thus I... more could not fully immerse in the cultural elements of the book. I wish there was just a little more on Saudi Arabia and it's beauty. It is a lovely story. I especially like the Pink Shoes. There is such a significance in such a small item, which is very real. I am compelled to recommend this book for it's uniqueness and complexity.
review 2: Iako je ljubav okosnica priče, srž knjige "Posljedice ljubavi" Sulaimana Addonie jest život eritrejskog emigranta (i ostalih emigranata) u Saudijskoj Arabiji 80-tih i 90-tih godina prošlog stoljeća. Dvadeseto i dvadesetiprvo stoljeće, a žene su i dalje samo lelujave sjenke, sjenke u svakom pogledu. Homoseksualizam, podvođenje dječaka i njihovo poniženje tolerirano je pod "budnim" očima vjerske policije, dok je kamenovanje preljubnika pa i onih koji to nisu, normalna, čak tražena i priželjkivana kazna. Ostala sam nad pričom - zgranuta. less
