ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-00-828444-2 Prix : 19€ Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Roman Résumé : "Dahlia has two lives. In one, she is a young woman with a good job, great friends and a busy social life. In the other, she is an unmarried daughter living at home, struggling with a burgeoning anxiety disorder and a deeply buried secret: a violent betrayal too shameful to speak of.
With her thirtieth birthday fast-approaching, pressure from her mother to accept a marriage proposal begins to strain the family. As her two lives start to collide and fracture, all Dahlia can think of is escape: something that seems impossible when she can’t even leave the country without her father’s consent.
But what if Dahlia does have a choice? What if all she needs is the courage to make it?
Set in contemporary Kuwait, The Pact We Made is a deeply affecting and timely debut about family, secrets and one woman’s search for a different life." couv4.En ligne : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/ [...] The pact we made [texte imprimé] / Layla Alammar, Auteur . - The Borough Press, 2019 . - 280p.
