The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of A Woman Is No
Man returns with a striking exploration of the expectations of
Palestinian-American women, the meaning of a fulfilling life, and
the ways our unresolved pasts affect our presents. "After Yara is
placed on probation at work for fighting with a racist coworker,
her Palestinian mother claims the provocation and all that’s come
after were the result of a family curse. While Yara doesn’t
believe in old superstitions, she finds herself unpacking her
strict, often volatile childhood growing up in Brooklyn, looking
for clues as to why she feels so unfulfilled in a life her mother
could only dream of. Etaf Rum’s follow-up to her 2019 debut, A
Woman Is No Man, is a complicated mother-daughter drama that looks
at the lasting effects of intergenerational trauma and what it
takes to break the cycle of abuse." —Time magazine, "The Most
Anticipated Books of the Year"
