Buzz Books and Bubbles: 'Paradiso 17' by Hannah Lillith Assadi

April's Buzz Books & Bubbles is one I chose myself based on the story, not necessarily on the buzz. The book has been longlisted for the Women's Prize in Fiction alongside Buzz Book past favorite -- "The Correspondent". The author was in conversation at the literary non-profit The Center for Fiction in Brooklyn with author Colum McCann whose book [Apeirogon](https://www.amazon.com/Apeirogon-A-Novel/dp/B082P7614J/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3B5EOZUBF2F2B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.G0D2tKXTGF1ByHxcLT39RkrZg2DzJM9cYAul0YxSUHpYHaO4f_9ZA6OMH5Ygr1F_QnakMXaUtFSMF0QYjR2lwPaI7uFfcjBqbOC3ryRC5oe-cYZUToUkilTvgH5qRBx8JXZdiBzqci6WOCb-8j_cU23D_WrXRUiqwr9lPiGjF3nU6EMWbdp1S94oEihmwt8I7qgmGy5vHm71XCiUc-1PNj0L8GqtE4aaZmn_Hu1v9WI.TqYv_yeJ86I_gy79rdo3Nzy4kIjOAC_74mYTaLogkOs&dib_tag=se&keywords=colum+mccann&qid=1772234937&s=audible&sprefix=colum+Ca%2Caudible%2C263&sr=1-2), somewhat mirrors this story and was longlisted for the Booker Prize. I chose this book because I love novels about someone's journey, over decades of their life, through many far and away places, their ups-and-downs, trials and tribulations, the people they meet and who they impact throughout their lifetime. This is Paradiso 17. A novel that was inspired by the author's own father and his personal journey.
