A Woman is No Man - Etaf Rum
This is the story of several generations of arranged marriages taking place in modern-day Brooklyn. Though eighteen-year-old Deya is not ready to get married, her grandparents are giving her no choice. A Woman is No Man is everything you’d want in a book; you'll learn about a hugely taboo idea in America (as told, appropriately, by an Arab-American), and get sucked in by all the mystery, family secrets and, if I do say so myself, a phenomenal ending. Everyone has been reading this book lately, and you really should too.
