THE PRIVATE APARTMENTS by Idman Nur Omar Uncorrected Proof/ARC (05/02/2023)

Description: New copy of ARC. Moving, insightful, linked stories about the determination of Somali immigrants ― despite duty, discrimination, and an ever-dissolving link to a war-torn homeland.In the insular rooms of The Private Apartments, a cleaning lady marries her employer’s nephew and then abandons him, a depressed young mother finds unlikely support in her community housing complex, a new bride attends weddings to escape her abusive marriage, and a failed nurse is sent to relatives in Dubai after a nervous breakdown. These captivating and compassionate stories eloquently showcase the intricate linkages of human experience and the ways in which Somalis, even as a diaspora, are indelibly connected.
