A Woman Is Not a Man
In Brooklyn, eighteen-year-old Deya has reached the age when she must meet potential husbands. Although marriage is not part of her plans, her grandparents give her no choice. The only way to secure a future is by marrying the right man.
History repeats itself: Deya's mother, Isra, also had no choice when, as a teenager in the 1990s, she left Palestine to marry Adam in the United States. Deya tries to do what her mother could not—break free from violent, misogynistic traditions and forge her own path. But the clash of cultures will lead her to discover complex, dark secrets hidden within her family.
A narrative exploring trauma, freedom, and the weight of culture, this is a story about women who continue to be born without a voice and who fight to resist the patriarchal restrictions designed to make them invisible.
This surprising novel takes us on a journey into the lives of Arab women living in the United States and the impact that patriarchal culture can have on their silence, even today.
