Summary

In this graphic memoir, the beloved comics artist shares her “frank, funny” story of finding a husband as an observant Muslim woman in America (NPR Morning Edition).   Chaperones, suitors, and arranged marriages aren't only reserved for the heroines of a Jane Austen novel. They're just another walk in the park for this leading lady, who is on a mission to find her leading lad. From the brilliant comics Yes, I’m Hot in This, Huda Fahmy tells the hilarious story of how she met and married her husband. Navigating mismatched suitors, gossiping aunties, and societal expectations for Muslim women, That Can Be Arranged deftly reveals to readers what it can be like to find a husband as an observant Muslim woman in the twenty-first century—offering a perceptive and personal glimpse into the sometimes sticky but ultimately rewarding balance of independent choice and tradition.  Praise for the work of Huda Fahmy   “Explores the complexities of identity . . . hilarious, charming.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Entertaining, frequently wry.” —Publishers Weekly
Available since: 03/10/2020.
