I have so many mixed feelings about this book.
On one hand, I found the POV both fascinating and new. The protagonist, in fact all the characters, are refreshingly not white Australians. I was introduced to a world view unfamiliar to me, new perspecti

Kate Belle and 3 other people liked Gavan's review of Translations:
Translations by Jumaana Abdu
"2.5* rounded up to 3*. Over-written. Just way too dense to be readable and sections felt very much like a lecture rather than a novel. The story line was actually quite interesting - but it was hard to get hold of it. "They spoke in riddles so as to " Read more of this review »

"3.75 stars

Oh gosh I'm so conflicted about this book. On one hand, the writing was beautiful and thought-provoking. On the other, it was so overwritten and bogged down the story because of the excessive metaphors, analogies, and adjectives. Sometimes " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Kate Belle  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When the universe was young, it took a breath, then sighed with a longing so deep, so ancient, that it stole God’s attention for a moment. The sigh brushed God’s cheek and He recognized it as the breath of love. In that moment God wished for another. The yearning had begun.”
Kate Belle, The Yearning

“Without sex, none of us would be here.”
Kate Belle

“This passion consumes me. It dissolves and embraces me. A flame grows inside me, it gently licks at my heart until I am warmed and swollen with desire. The God of Love moves through me when I think of you.”
Kate Belle, The Yearning
