| Summary |
"From the suburbs of Seattle to the villas of Jordan and the refugee camps of the West Bank, on an emotional journey exploring what it means to be a family, Warah tells the story of the Mansours, a sprawling Arab-American family, and the women who married into it"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
American-born Margaret Mansour wants to the twenty-year marriage to her Palestinian husband, Ahmed, but not if it means uprooting their children to move halfway across the world. Alison Mansour has a degree in Near East Studies, but her American education and Syrian background are of no use when her new marriage begins to crumble under the weight of cultural and religious differences. After the death of her husband, Zainab Mansour finds herself lost in a faithless country and lonely within the walls of her eldest son's home. From the perspectives of these women we explore what it means to be a family. |
