Editorial Reviews
Review
"With enough Grand Guignol to fill a Globo novella, Bahia Blues delivers the sensuous eccentricity of an Amado novel cut with City of God realism.” —Guardian
"Bahia Blues is engrossing—full of passion and flavor. Traboulsi expertly turns the theme of social deprivation into character-led fiction, and handles tragedy and city life with equal affection." —Financial Times
"A new author with an extraordinarily fresh voice." —The Independent
"A very impressive and engaging first novel and Yasmina Traboulsi is unquestionably a writer to watch." —Salman Rushdie
"Bahia Blues is a triumphant debut from a writer of unquestionable talent." —New Internationalist
"Yasmina Traboulsi's Bahia Blues is an eccentric tale about the impact of a stranger on the poor but happy residents of a square in Salvador, Brazil. Traboulsi evokes urban life in Brazil with beautiful prose." —Claire Allfree, "Debut Novels to Try", Metro
