Girl, Woman, Other Book Group @ Central
This month the Girl, Woman, Other Book Group will read and discuss the book "A Woman is No Man" by Etaf Rum.
In Brooklyn, eighteen-year-old Deya is starting to meet with suitors. Though she doesn’t want to get married, her grandparents give her no choice. History is repeating itself: Deya’s mother, Isra, also had no choice when she left Palestine as a teenager to marry Adam.

This debut novel by an Arab-American voice,takes us inside the lives of conservative Arab women living in America.
