What an amazingly honest and well written story about a cross-cultural relationship and marriage. I really enjoyed hearing about the author’s experiences being married to a Muslim man. It gave me a very different insight about an average Muslim and their faith in contrast to what we hear about in the media. I gained such a respect for this married couple as they stayed committed to each other despite their ongoing struggles with their cultural differences. It was enlightening and touching to hear about how they learned to accept some of those differences and yet remained loyal to their own personal culture, faith, beliefs, and traditions. Definitely not easy and the author is very candid about her feelings and frustrations. I ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I anticipated and would recommend it to anyone that wants to open their mind and learn about cultures that are different from our own. Please note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I received a free early review copy from LibraryThing last year, but somehow didn't get around to reading it. I found this memoir captivating and finished the book in one day. Quick and easy read. The book is full of humor and love and I really enjoyed the way it's written. I love the way the author covers the cultural differences between herself and her husband.

I read it in one sitting this morning as my chores piled up around me. The premise of this book has been written about thoroughly and well. Since I knew little about the Muslim religion and even less about the Libyan people, I found this memoir fascinating. The section regarding their trip to Libyia to meet her husband's family was eye opening. I enjoyed this book and look forward to Krista Bremer's next book.

Biography & Autobiography.
Nonfiction.
Fifteen years ago, Krista Bremer would not have been able to imagine her life today: married to a Libyan-born Muslim, raising two children with Arabic names in the American South. Nor could she have imagined the prejudice she would encounter or the profound ways her marriage would change her perception of the world.But on a running trail in North Carolina, she met Ismail. He was passionate and sincere-and he loved adventure as much as she did. From acquaintances to lovers to a couple facing an unexpected pregnancy, this is the story of two people-a middle-class American raised in California and a Muslim raised by illiterate parents in an impoverished Libyan fishing village-who made a commitment to each other without forsaking their own identities.It is the story of a bicultural marriage-and aren't all marriages bicultural? In any marriage, we might discover that our mate is foreign to us, with very different language, memories, and assumptions about home and family. How we respond to difference is what shapes our families, our communities, and our world. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
