Description

Anna Halabi (Author)
A delightful collection of whimsical short stories about Syrian brides and brides-to-be. They range from charming to alarming giving the readers a glimpse into the Syrian culture. The stories are full of clever dialogue and irony. The tone is humorous despite the serious subject matters being addressed, including domestic violence, repression, and oppression. Yet the women in these stories are graceful, witty, and strong.
“It takes skill to create short stories, for there is never enough breadth to create character development. These stories however were like parables in style, with wise and perceptive characters, and Anna Halabi has done a great job of providing insight into a completely different culture and making me care about these women and their lives.”
