A Woman Is No Man

by Etaf Rum

A Woman Is No Man unfolds the haunting tale of three generations of Palestinian-American women bound by the weight of cultural expectations in Brooklyn. Isra, a young woman from Palestine, is constrained by an arranged marriage, while her daughter Deya grapples with her grandmother Fareeda's rigid traditions, pushing her toward another unwelcome union. As secrets unravel, a poignant narrative emerges, challenging the deep-rooted notions that have governed their lives. The novel delves into the struggle for autonomy and the complexities of family allegiance, ultimately revealing the transformative power of courage and storytelling.
