šØ Happy Pub Day to THE MEANING OF DAUGHTER by Alexia Nader! šØ
After immigrating from Lebanon to Haiti as a young girl, Merjan comes of age in an insular, conservative community, where it seems as though her sole escape is marriage. Striking a bargain with a young art dealer, she marries and dreams of becoming a painter, only to discover her husbandās support tethered with expectations.
In the late 1970s, Merjanās daughter Yvonne is a young woman on the cusp of a marriage of convenience. Though resentful of her mother, Yvonne dreams of establishing a Haitian art gallery in New York with the help of a well-connected older manābut her time there ends disastrously, creating a deep rift between her and her family.
In the present day, Yvonneās daughter Eva is a student whose art draws inspiration from her grandmother Merjanās largely undiscovered work. When Eva becomes unexpectedly pregnant, she moves back to her childhood home in Miami to sort out her ambivalent feelings, where she finds her family upended by feuds. An intimate family saga, THE MEANING OF DAUGHTER explores questions about maternal ambivalence, ambition, artmaking, and how desire resists gendered expectations.

šŗ Hey! University of Iowa Press is giving away 15 copies of Alexia Nader's THE MEANING OF DAUGHTER šŗ
Log onto @goodreads and enter via the THE MEANING OF DAUGHTER's page. Weāve made it easy by including the link in our bio. Giveaway ends September 22. U.S. residents only.
āIn THE MEANING OF DAUGHTER, Alexia Nader has spun a masterpiece depicting a multigenerational matriarchy. Reaching across silences and negative space, the daughter, mother, and grandmother of Naderās breathtaking debut each contend with the tension between the lives they desire and the lives they are expected to pursue. Fueled by artistic ambition, filial obligation, and unbridled passion, THE MEANING OF DAUGHTER is a compassionate exploration of love without possession.āāMegan Kamalei Kakimoto, author, EVERY DROP IS A MAN'S NIGHTMARE
