| Description: | Sabah, a 40-year-old Arab woman from Syria, meets a man about her own age while swimming. He is a divorcee from Sudbury. She's a good Muslim but breaks the rules occasionally. Sabah starts to see him despite her very controlling family and falls in love with him. After she spends the night with him her brother disowns her. But the rest of the family likes the man, particularly her mother, and the brother turns out to be less of a dinosaur than he at first seems. |
