About this product
Product Information
2018 NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION'S 5 UNDER 35 HONOREE A fevered, lyrical debut about two young women drawn into an ever-intensifying friendship set against the stark, haunted landscape of the Sonoran desert and the ecstatic frenzy of New York City. Ahlam, the daughter of a Palestinian refugee and his Israeli wife, grows up in the arid lands of desert suburbia outside of Phoenix. In a stark landscape where coyotes prowl and mysterious lights occasionally pass through the nighttime sky, Ahlam's imagination reigns. She battles chronic fever dreams and isolation. When she meets her tempestuous counterpart Laura, the two fall into infatuated partnership, experimenting with drugs and sex and boys, and watching helplessly as a series of mysterious deaths claim high school classmates. The girls flee their pasts for New York City, but as their emotional bond heightens, the intensity of their lives becomes unbearable. In search of love, ecstasy, oblivion, and belonging, Ahlam and Laura's drive to outrun the ghosts of home threatens to undo them altogether.

Praise for Sonora " Sonora is the most eerie and unusual coming of age story I've ever encountered--not a tale of innocence lost, but of innocence never had. In a story steeped in sorcery and curses, Assadi looks to the heavens, wild-eyed and bewildered." --Catherine Lacey, author of Nobody Is Ever Missing "With penetrating grace, Hannah Lillith Assadi details the intoxicating precarity of being young and alive and desperate to change. Sonora is unforgettable and deeply felt, the type of book that brings you close, infiltrates you, and leaves you with the sense that you've just lived an entire life." --Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine "In Sonora , Hannah Assadi documents, with lyric ferocity, the agony, love, and bafflement of belonging to a family. A scorching story of youth and the losses and sorrows of growing up estranged." --Ben Marcus, author of Leaving the Sea "Hannah Lillith Assadi's Sonora is a mystical and haunting landscape and she guides us through it with boundless grace and sharp, luminous poetry. This extraordinarily assured debut novel feels both old and timeless, like the desert and New York City, while remaining fresh and urgent and impossible to put down. Here we have a compelling cast of young and old, strangers and friends, lovers and family, immigrants and natives, as they try to find their place in a vast and complicated country." --Robert Lopez, author of Kamby Bolongo Mean River, Praise for Sonora An Elle Magazine Most Anticipated Novel " Sonora is the most eerie and unusual coming of age story I've ever encountered--not a tale of innocence lost, but of innocence never had.

Here we have a compelling cast of young and old, strangers and friends, lovers and family, immigrants and natives, as they try to find their place in a vast and complicated country." --Robert Lopez, author of Kamby Bolongo Mean River "A lyrical meditation on the confusion and awe of growing up that is made beautifully strange by the desert's haunting presence... both typical and painfully, relatably fresh... Lyrical, raw, and moving." -- Kirkus Reviews "Wise and poetic... Glimpses of the otherworldly abound, alongside an abiding interest in the cosmos, and Assadi's lyrical prose nicely complements these preoccupations with the unreal or the ungraspable. The structure, moving back and forth in time and space, adds a sense of the magical to a sometimes tragic but always beautiful coming-of-age story." -- Publishers Weekly "Assadi's first novel is--like Ahlam's dreams--fevered, fragmented, and impressionistic... lushly poetic... will interest those looking for a stylish read." -- Booklist, Praise for Sonora " Sonora is the most eerie and unusual coming of age story I've ever encountered--not a tale of innocence lost, but of innocence never had.

A scorching story of youth and the losses and sorrows of growing up estranged." --Ben Marcus, author of Leaving the Sea "Assadi's characters are on a trip, as is their author, and Sonora , a pleasure to read, is both a beginning and about a beginning--an origin story for the writer and the reader." --Donald Antrim, author of The Emerald Light in the Air "Landscape becomes dreamscape in Assadi's evocative and provocative exploration of a world divided. Written with masterful artistry, Sonora is, in equal parts, a beautiful and intelligent novel." --Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of The Scenic Route "Hannah Lillith Assadi's Sonora is a mystical and haunting landscape and she guides us through it with boundless grace and sharp, luminous poetry.
