- Summary
- "The Situe, or Arab grandmother, moves in and out of this collection of eleven short stories, forming a drama of an extended Arab family in twentieth-century America.".
- "Khirallah Noble writes of immigrants torn between two cultures, the lure of capitalist success versus the cost of assimilation, marital and parental tensions, youth and age, innovation and tradition. Chronologically arranged and covering much of the twentieth century, the book begins with Hasna Elias's immigration to America from what is now Syria and Lebanon, and ends in the present, where the situe lives in a Southern California home for the elderly."--BOOK JACKET.
