SUMMARY:risc book club: celestial bodies
DESCRIPTION:Set in the village of al-Awafi in Oman\, we encounter three sisters: Mayya\, who marries Abdallah after a heartbreak; Asma\, who marries from a sense of duty; and Khawla\, who rejects all offers while waiting for her beloved\, who has emigrated to Canada. These three women and their families witness Oman evolve from a traditional\, slave-owning society slowly redefining itself after the colonial era\, to the crossroads of its complex present. Elegantly structured and taut\, Celestial Bodies is a coiled spring of a novel\, telling of Oman’s coming-of-age through the prism of one family’s losses and loves.
