Our new #LiteReads selection is Pearls On a Branch by Najla Jraissaty Khoury, translated from Arabic to English by Inea Bushnaq! This short story is based on an oral tale from Lebanon about a girl who asks her father for "pearls on a branch" when he makes the pilgrimage to Mecca and what ensues. You can find a link to read the story for free in the full blog post. Let me know what you think once you've read it!
