Let's
celebrate our final WOW Book Club discussion this December 2013, which
is taking place on a SATURDAY - please don't forget!
Our final discussion will focus on Love InshAllah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women, short stories collected by Nura Maznavi & Ayesha Mattu - both local authors!
Here's a Book Summary:
In
this groundbreaking collection, American Muslim women writers sweep
aside stereotypes to share their real-life tales of flirting, dating,
longing, and sex. Their stories show just how varied the search for love
can be—from singles' events and college flirtations to arranged
marriages, all with a uniquely Muslim twist.
These
heartfelt tales are filled with passion and hope, loss and longing. One
follows the quintessential single woman in the big city as she takes a
chance on a Muslim speed-dating event. Another tells of a shy student
from a liberal college town who falls in love online and must reveal her
secret to her conservative family. A third recounts a Southern girl who
surprises herself by agreeing to an arranged marriage, unexpectedly
finding the love of her life.
These
compelling stories of love and romance create an irresistible balance
of heart-warming and tantalizing, always revealing and deeply relatable.
We will be meeting Saturday December 14 @ 2pm at Cafe Murano in the Lower Pacific Heights neighbourhood.
