Our Riches celebrates quixotic devotion and the love of books in the person of Edmond Charlot, who at the age of twenty founded Les Vraies Richesses (Our True Wealth), the famous Algerian bookstore/publishing house/lending library. He more than fulfilled its motto "by the young, for the young," discovering the twenty-four-year-old Albert Camus in 1937. His entire archive was twice destroyed by the French colonial forces, but despite financial difficulties (he was hopelessly generous) and the vicissitudes of wars and revolutions, Charlot (often compared to the legendary bookseller Sylvia Beach) carried forward Les Vraies Richesses as a cultural hub of Algiers.

Our Riches interweaves Charlot's story with that of another twenty-year-old, Ryad (dispatched in 2017 to empty the old shop and repaint it). Ryad's no booklover, but old Abdallah, the bookshop's self-appointed, nearly illiterate guardian, opens the young man's mind. Cutting brilliantly from Charlot to Ryad, from the 1930s to current times, from WWII to the bloody 1961 Free Algeria demonstrations in Paris, Adimi delicately packs a monumental history of intense political drama into her swift and poignant novel. But most of all, it's a hymn to the book and to the love of books.

I get tons of compliments about this pullover
Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large
I really like this pullover! A clothing steamer got the wrinkles out from the shipping process, and it hasn't wrinkled at all since then. It's lightweight, and allows my arms to move freely. The fabric feels good against my skin, and the color looks pretty much exactly as it looks on line. I wear an XXL, and it fits exactly as it should. I love the look of the mock neck collar, it's stylish and works well over a regular collared shirt. The quality is solid, and it's absolutely worth the price. No hesitation about ordering more.

Runs small, rough on the inside
Color: Misty Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Misty Blue, Size: X-Large
Basic performance half button pullover that looks great but just isn't quite worth the money. The polyester material will protect you from light rain and wick the moisture away, but everything else about it feels a little bit low rent. The plastic snaps on the collar are similar in quality to a cheap, disposable poncho. The interior is pretty scratchy and catches on the rough skin on the back of my elbow. Fit is a little snug and for 8% spandex there's just not much stretch. Misty blue color is attractive, but not enough to overcome the middling construction and build quality. Feels very similar to the underwhelming jackets I've 'earned' from my employer for meeting some sort of corporate milestone. If this were $25 I'd give it an extra star. For the list price you can find much better stuff from much better brands if you shop the sales.

Lightweight Layer That Works
Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large
This pullover has been a solid option for cooler days without feeling bulky or restrictive. The lightweight fabric is breathable and comfortable, especially for movement, and it works well both on the golf course and for casual wear. The mock neck and half-button design give it a slightly polished look, while the pockets are genuinely useful and not just decorative. It fits true to size and layers easily over a tee or under a vest. Overall, it’s a practical and comfortable piece for active or everyday wear.

Fits and looks great
Color: Black, Size: Large
This golf pullover will be great for the upcoming golf season. The fit (Large) is excellent. The sleeves may be on the long side for some, but they can easily be pushed up the arm or cuffed on the arm. The chest and shoulders fit like a tailor-made pullover. The length is shorter than a normal pullover because it is meant for golfing. So kudos here. The material seems durable and the snaps work better than buttons or a zipper. The material seems comfortable and durable. I give this pullover high marks and will get a lot of use wearing it on the course.
