- The interview with Etaf Rum April 28, 2020
A story of how a woman can break taboos and break free from patriarchal misogynistic families. This mesmerizing novel will take all your attention from the very beginning.
The daughter of Palestinian immigrants, Etaf Rum was born and
raised in Brooklyn, New York. She has a Masters of Arts in American
and British Literature as well as undergraduate degrees in
Philosophy and English Composition and taught undergraduate
courses in North Carolina, where she lives with her two children.
She also runs the Instagram account @booksandbeans and is a
Book of the Month Club Ambassador. A Woman Is No Man is her
first novel.
A Woman Is No Man became a New York Times bestseller, hit the ninth spot on Amazon’s Bestseller List,
and was picked by Jenna Bush Hager as her book club’s May 2019 read.
I have just read the book. I think every woman in the world should read it, no matter, if she is Arabian or not. I think it is an archetype that a man always does that he wants but a woman tries to suit everyone, especially a man, and it is because historically she was dependant on the man in terms of family. But it is an archetype. Every woman has a voice. But many are afraid. The book has reminded me about my childhood. I wanted to escape home since I was like 10 years old because my father hit my mother, and I told myself that I would never be like my mother. I would be independent, I would earn my own money, I would choose a man who will respect me. So I left at 16, I am highly educated woman, I can sustain myself easily. But my sister is repeating the fate of my mother - her husband hits her, she is unhappy and afraid. I need to give her the book. So, thank you Etaf!!!
i hope things become easier for your sister!
Did you managed ro give her the book?
I just finished this book and started searching the web for more info on the author and subject. That's how I fell upon your interview. You did a wonderful job and asked amazing questions. I leaned in to hear her answers and I learned a lot. Thank you both for your time.
I am very thankful for this interview. I was really curious to know more about Etaf ❤
I'm glad it’s virtual, so I can enjoy this with you ❤️
I just finished this book, and I first read Evil eyes - I am really touched and ways I hadn't expected. I wish I could help more other women...
I am gonna do my research on this beautiful work. How much I loved it is not countable...
Are you talking about Evil eyes?? At the end or a new one?
