May in the Summer
MAY BRENNAN is celebrating the publication of her first book, and she plans to wed ZIAD, ZIAD’s sensible, steady, and thoughtful fiance. She would like everyone to think so. She’s now back in the chaos of her past life, having been reunited with her Amman family. NADINE her headstrong Christian mother, is so disapproving of the Muslim husband that she will be boycotting the wedding. DALIA, YASMINE and her younger sister DALIA behave just like their children. EDWARD, her father is now suspiciously keen to make amends. May is increasingly confronted with the pain of her parents’ divorce as her wedding day approaches. Soon, May’s once well-organized life is completely out of her control. –Anonymous
