Welcome to Litsy!

So conflicted about this - very well written, compelling story, but I found Huda incredibly frustrating. While there is definitely a culture clash element going on here, it seemed like a lot of her problems were due to immaturity. Worth reading though.

This novel is proving such a culture shock for me. I‘m very interested, but I‘m finding it really hard to get any empathy going for Huda. She comes across a lot as one of those women who are so focused on the act of getting married they don‘t really think about the reality of a marriage. But then I‘m a career woman in her mid30s who‘s been living with a man Out Of Wedlock for nearly a decade so it‘s a long way from my life...

Can‘t remember where I heard about this, but this is my latest library book - and so far, so interesting.
