This is a must read if you love learning about other cultures. Thank you to my friend "K" who recommended it. It is an eye opener and makes you sympathized with women in cultures where women are very restricted and abused.
The book is about three generations of Palestinian women in the United States. It is very heartbreaking and makes me want to cry a lot but I still can't put it down.
I want to think that not all women from that culture are treated in an abusive way these days. But if you really think about it, some women here in the western world are still victims of domestic violence and other inequality. When can women really be treated fairly and equally as their male counterpart? How can we make it possible?
Kudos to Etaf Rum for writing this very courageous book.
