Join us for a discussion of Palestinian-American writer Etaf Rum's debut award-winning novel about women's courage to break with an oppressive tradition. Copies will be available one month in advance.
This captivating debut novel and New York Times bestseller tells the story of three generations of Arab women and their respective struggles under crushing patriarchal oppression. The largely biographical and ultimately tragic tale takes readers from 1990s Palestine to a Brooklyn neighborhood of Palestinian immigrants in 2008—where an honorable reputation is everything, disgraceful secrets are kept in the dark, and equal rights and gender equality are something women are still fighting for. Limited to 12 people.
