📖 About this Book
The House on Carnaval Street is Deborah Rodriguez’s deeply personal memoir about starting over after her life in Afghanistan falls apart. Forced to flee Kabul after threats against her family, she leaves behind her friends, possessions, beauty school, salon, and coffee shop. 
Back in the United States, she struggles to feel like herself again. Eventually, at forty-nine, Deborah packs up her life and her cat Polly and drives to a seaside town in Mexico, where an unassuming house on Carnaval Street becomes the setting for her reinvention. What follows is funny, chaotic, vulnerable, and surprisingly hopeful as she tries to build a life that finally feels like her own. 
It is a memoir about loss, independence, identity, starting over, and the strange places life can take you when the original plan has thoroughly combusted, as plans tend to do. 
 
❤️ Why Sumaia Recommends It
I love books about women rebuilding their lives, especially when the story is messy, funny, and honest rather than polished into some perfect little inspirational package.
This one feels warm and deeply human. Deborah’s journey is about learning who she is when everything familiar disappears, and I think that makes it especially meaningful for readers who enjoy memoirs about reinvention, courage, and creating a new chapter later in life.
