A New York Times bestseller, A Washington Post 10 Books to Read in March, One of Cosmopolitans Best Books by POC for 2019, and A Refinery 29 Best Book of the Month, A Woman Is No Man is a powerful and captivating novel that delves into the lives of three generations of Palestinian-American women living in Brooklyn. Set in 1990, seventeen-year-old Isra prefers reading books to entertaining the suitors her father has chosen for her. Over the course of a week, the naive and dreamy girl finds herself quickly betrothed and married, and is soon living in Brooklyn. However, Isra struggles to adapt to the expectations of her oppressive mother-in-law Fareeda and strange new husband Adam, a pressure that intensifies as she begins to have children - four daughters instead of the sons Fareeda tells Isra she must bear.
Brooklyn, 2008. Eighteen-year-old Deya, Isras oldest daughter, must meet with potential husbands at her grandmother Fareedas insistence, though her only desire is to go to college. But her grandmother is firm on the matter: the only way to secure a worthy future for Deya is through marriage to the right man. However, fate has a will of its own, and soon Deya will find herself on an unexpected path that leads her to shocking truths about her family and their history.
A Woman Is No Man is a story of culture and honor, secrets and betrayals, love and violence.
