Let's Brunch Over A Woman Is No Man

We're thrilled to announce the book for our February Book Club: A Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum. Looking forward to seeing everyone and having a great group discussion.

PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE!

Here’s a summary:

This debut novel by a Palestinian-American voice takes us inside the lives of a conservative Arab family living in America. In Brooklyn, eighteen-year-old Deya is starting to meet with suitors. Though she doesn’t want to get married, her grandparents give her no choice. History is repeating itself: Deya’s mother, Isra, also had no choice when she left Palestine as a teenager to marry Adam. Though Deya was raised to believe her parents died in a car accident, a secret note from a mysterious, yet familiar-looking woman makes Deya question everything she was told about her past. As the narrative alternates between the lives of Deya and Isra, she begins to understand the dark, complex secrets behind her community.
