Description
Dahlia's life is a carefully constructed facade. In one reality, she has a good job and great friends; in another, she struggles with anxiety and a deeply buried secret. As her 30th birthday approaches, pressure from her mother to accept a marriage proposal begins to strain the family. Dahlia feels trapped, unable to escape without her father's consent. As her two lives start to collide, Dahlia is forced to confront the choices she has made and the secrets she keeps. Will she find the courage to make a change, or will she be bound by the expectations of those around her? Set in contemporary Kuwait, this debut novel explores themes of family, secrets, and one woman's search for a different life. Beautifully written and full of personality, The Pact We Made is a deeply affecting story about the complexities of human relationships and the power of self-discovery.
