Reviews
"Quirky, very readable, and slightly odd...I recommend The Unexpected Love Objects of Dunya Noor for its lightness of tone and the weight of its concerns. And because it's part setin Lattakia - not many novels wear that particular honour."--Robin Yassin-Kassab, Qunfuz "I loved this book! Magical writing and such a beautiful story. Thank you for this novel whose characters with their glorious curly hair will stay with me! Read this."--Mona Eltahawy "A vivid debut . . . infused not only with comedy but with a gentle lyricism. This is a story about love in its many shades, its pleasures and its pain, and how it feels to have the political intrude upon the intimately personal."-- i News "Telling satire for anyone who knows Syria."--Gareth Smyth, The Arab Weekly "While Haddad's novel depicts the context of Syria's conflict, aspects of it could be happening anywhere. For this is not so much a novel about Syria, but a novel about the strangeness and difference between what is said and unsaid, what is understood and what is not." --Usman Butt, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed "[An] exceptional debut novel. Satirical and witty . . . there is a skillful lightness to Haddad's writing." -- Arab News "Very enjoyable reading . . . it is to be hoped that we will see more from Rana Haddad."-- The Modern Novel
