A Woman Is No Man - by Etaf Rum

A Woman Is No Man is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the lives of three generations of Palestinian-American women living in Brooklyn, struggling to express their individual desires within the confines of their Arab culture.

The book has been praised for its nuanced portrayal of cultural expectations and taboos, family tragedy, and the immigrants' story.

Through the eyes of Isra, Deya, and their families, Etaf Rum masterfully weaves a tale of strength, resilience, and the power of women to break free from patriarchal misogynistic families.

A must-read for fans of Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns and Tara Conklin's The Last Romantics, this debut novel is a heartbreaking yet inspiring portrayal of the cyclical impact of violence and oppression on women.

Don't miss out on this unforgettable story that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about your own family, the past, and your future.
