Wilkins Plaza

Etaf Rum’s latest novel, Evil Eye, offers a thoughtful and emotionally-resonant story about a young Palestinian-American woman, Yara, searching for fulfillment as she grapples with intergenerational trauma and her complicated relationship with her mother. Author Diana Abu-Jaber says, “Wise, expansive, and deeply compassionate…This fierce story explores the notion of women’s freedom and of what becomes of identity when gender roles, family, and cultural traditions are challenged and rewritten.”
