Book Reviews of Married to a Stranger
Book Review: A Typical Romance Novel
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed in this book. I thought I'd be reading a deep, book about female burdens in the Middle East. Instead, I get a Danielle Steel type novel. The perfect marriage turns sour when the husband starts coming in late, telling lies, etc. If you like that type of story, you'll like this one but I'm not a romance novel fan.
Summary of Married to a Stranger
When Minou Hakini marries a man of her own choosing-an intellectual and a radical-and moves to Abadan, a thriving oil town near the Iraqi border, she imagines her life will be adventurous and liberating. Before long, however, she becomes aware of her husband's suspicious liaisons and dangerous activities. Her struggle to forge her own identity as a woman in contemporary Iran is charged with passion, anger, and finally a need to escape.
Nahid Rachlin is an Iranian who lives in New York and teaches at Barnard College. She is the author of Foreigner and The Heart's Desire, both novels, and Veils, a collection of short stories.
