A Woman Is No Man
Three generations of Palestinian-American women in Brooklyn, and the silences each one is handed.
In Brooklyn, eighteen-year-old Deya is being introduced to suitors she does not want, and has questions she is not permitted to ask about how her mother died. Rum writes three generations of Palestinian-American women inside one family, and the silences each one inherits and then passes on, having found no safer way to hold them.
