My English Teacher and I by Mikhael Aroni

Delving into the delicate nuances of language, connection, belonging, and loss, My English Teacher and I by Mikhael Aroni is a passionate exploration of love and the complicated layers of power that inevitably exist within every person. Boasting vivid, three-dimensional characters from across the world – expats, teachers, travelers, and students – this novel offers a vulnerable peek inside the transient and challenging world of living somewhere you can’t quite call home. The cover doesn’t quite reflect the care and artistry inside, but the prose makes up for this, as the rich language of this novel is effortless, erudite, and evocative, resulting in a deeply rewarding read.
