Kiffe Kiffe Demain (Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow) is a slim volume penned by Faiza Guene about a young Maghrebine girl (Arab girl of N. African descent living in France) who is just coasting by in life. Every day is kif-kif (same old same old) until things finally start to change, as she meets more people, understands more things, and sees some light at the end of the tunnel. Wise beyond her years, Doria lives in the projects on the outskirts of Paris, with other Muslims in a very insular world. Her father has dumped her and gone back to Morocco, seeking a new, younger wife than Doria's cleaning lady mom, Jasmina. Doria has a blase, mature point of view for one so young. An interesting look at the immigrant's view of France and of not really belonging or assimilating.
