An Egyptian Marriage

This insightful novel shows what happens when a modern Egyptian girl objects to her old-fashioned family's interference, when it comes to arranging An Egyptian Marriage. Nada refuses her first suitor because he is extremely ugly. When she faces pressure from her mother and aunt to give him another chance, she is surprised that he is now refusing her, because someone told him that Nada is too liberated. The second suitor is a handsome but poor doctor who likes Nada, and she likes him, but he's not ready for marriage and cannot afford it financially. Bachelor number three comes from an extremely conservative family. His father objects to the match because Nada's father used to occasionally drink alcohol and he doesn't feel mother and daughter are conservative enough. Nada's fourth suitor is half French and the two take quite a liking to one another, but this time, the suitor's mother rejects Nadia without giving any reasons. Meanwhile, Nada's mother keep telling her that she will end up an old maid! Nada finds consolation in ballet and with her girlfriend. She reads verses in the Koran and prays for a good husband. Just when Nada least expects it, she meets her Prince Charming. But will Nada's controlling mother mess the whole thing up? About the Author: Omneya Fawzi was born in Alexandria, Egypt.
