SYNOPSIS
The powerful and poignant new novel from the author of the much-loved A Woman is No Man.
Raised in a conservative Palestinian family in Brooklyn, Yara thought she would finally feel free when she married a charming entrepreneur. Now, she has a good job at the local college, and balances that with raising her two daughters and taking care of their home. Yara knows that her life is more rewarding than her mother’s - so why doesn’t it feel like enough?
After Yara responds to a colleague’s racist provocation, she is put on probation at work and must attend mandatory counselling. Her mother blames a family curse for Yara’s troubles, and while Yara doesn’t believe in superstitions, she still finds herself growing increasingly uneasy about falling victim to the same mistakes as her mother.
Yara’s carefully constructed world begins to implode and suddenly she must face up to the difficulties of her childhood, not fully realising how that will impact not just her own future, but that of her daughters too.

Tem um mestrado em Literatura Americana e Britânica e, juntamente com o marido, gere um café com livraria em Rocky Mount Mills, na Carolina do Norte, onde vive com os dois filhos. O seu primeiro romance, Uma Mulher Não é um Homem, foi inspirado na sua infância enquanto rapariga palestina nos Estados Unidos.
