I found it hard to get my head round the traditional Kuwaiti way to arrange a marriage. But the dilemma 29 year-old Dahlia faces to respect her traditional parents and on the other hand her overwhelming desire to be free (after she has been raped by an uncle when she was 15) is very understandable. A very courageous book from an Arabic-American writer, and a great addition to the #MeToo discussion.
