Winner of the California Book Award Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist for the National Book Award "Beautiful and absorbing."--New York Times An Unnecessary Woman is a breathtaking portrait of one reclusive woman's late-life crisis, which garnered a wave of rave reviews and love letters to Alameddine's cranky yet charming septuagenarian protagonist, Aaliya, a character you "can't help but love" (NPR). Aaliya's insightful musings on literature, philosophy, and art are invaded by memories of the Lebanese Civil War and her volatile past. As she tries to overcome her aging body and spontaneous emotional upwellings, Aaliya is faced with an unthinkable disaster that threatens to shatter the little life she has left. Here, the gifted Rabih Alameddine has given us a nuanced rendering of one woman's life in the Middle East and an enduring ode to literature and its power to define who we are. "A paean to the transformative power of reading, to the intellectual asylum from one's circumstances found in the life of the mind."--LA Review of Books " The novel] throbs with energy... Aaliya's] inventive way with words gives unfailing pleasure, no matter how dark the events she describes, how painful the emotions she reveals."--Washington PostBinding Type: Paperback

Best paper towel holder
Color: Silver
Very easy to put together, very sturdy and works great! Holds the paper towel with no slipping or popping off and it does not move around on the counter because of the suction cups. Very satisfied with the purchase. Bought another for the bathroom and one for my mom.

Perfection!
Color: White, Color: White
Oh my! A design so simple but so effective! I had a towel holder but when I went to pull a piece off..it would hardly budge. I use jumbo towels(triple rolls from Costco)I would have to hold it. And it would only work smoothly when the roll was down some. Then it would spin too fast!🙄 This holder..nope..the suction cups are nice and strong..and when I pulled a piece off..the spin was perfectly smooth and calculated... and you can tear off the piece perfectly You can hear the spin movement. SOOO glad I bought this..yes..it is expensive for a towel holder BUT...it does EVERYTHING its supposed to do! In my book...worth it. Do not hesitate...it's a keeper! And the white is perfect for my bathroom...blends in beautifully. But the choices are nice for any decor.

Excellent for one-handed operation
Color: Silver
This one-handed paper towel dispenser is very good quality. The suctions cups work very well on a clean, smooth surface. Has a good solid feeling while pulling off paper towels with one hand. You might have a slight learning curve on to how to pull correctly. Pull the paper towel only just far enough out that there is still good tension on the towel. Then pull the towel downward and close to the roll. A little practice will be rewarded with satisfaction of this product! Comes in so handy when you have one messy hand and only your other hand to pull off one or several towels. If pulling several sheets at once remember to pull them straight outward, then pull the last sheet downward and close to the roll. No fuss removing the used cardboard roll and replacing with a new roll. Assembly is easy. The assembly instructions aren't good quality but the parts only fit together one way. The dispenser will end up looking like a two-tier spoon carousel with the spoons hanging upside down. I would buy this as a gift for family or friends.

Sticks to the counter like superglue
Color: Silver
This paper towel holder definitely sticks to my granite countertop and wont move. I put it is a spot where that would not be a problem. If you need to move your papertowel holder daily, don't buy this one because you can barely pull it off the counter. But great product if you don't need to move.
