<b>“Fiercely funny, sexy, and culturally resonant.” —<i>People</i>, Best Books of the Month • “Shamieh balances her characters’ painful family history and their boisterously funny voices.” —<i>The </i><i>New Yorker</i></b><br> <br> <b>A “wonderfully brash and sparkling” (<i>Oprah Daily</i>, Best Books of the Year) novel that explores exile, love, and freedom across three generations of women—“a Palestinian American <i>Sex and the City</i>” (<i>The Atlantic</i>).</b><br><br>Arabella gets an unexpected chance at love when she’s thrust into a conflict and history she’s tried to avoid all her life.<br> <br>Zoya is playing matchmaker for her last unmarried granddaughter and stirring up buried memories.<br> <br>Naya is keeping a secret from her children that will change all their lives.<br> <br>Thirty-five-year-old Arabella, a New York theatre director whose dating and career prospects are drying up, is offered an opportunity to direct a risqué cross-dressing interpretation of a Shakespeare classic—that might garner international attention—in the West Bank. Her mother, Naya, and grandmother, Zoya, hatch a plot to match her with Aziz, a Palestinian American doctor volunteering in Gaza. Arabella agrees to meet Aziz, since her growing feelings for Yoav, a celebrated Israeli American theatre designer, seem destined for disaster...<br> <br>With biting hilarity, <i>Too Soon </i>introduces us to a trio of bold and unforgettable voices. This dramatic saga follows one family’s epic journey fleeing war-torn Jaffa in 1948, chasing the American Dream in Detroit and San Francisco in the sixties and seventies, hustling in the New York theatre scene post-9/11, and daring to stage a show in Palestine in 2012. Upon learning one of them is living on borrowed time, the three women fight to live, make art, and love on their own terms. A funny, sexy, and heart-wrenching literary debut, <i>Too Soon </i>illuminates our shared history and asks, how can we set ourselves free?
