5th Reading Response

The novel I am reading is, The View from Garden City, by Carolyn Baugh. Once again I have came upon an author that writes in serveral different perspectives. In, The View from Garden City, there is six different women's stories being told. All these women are living in Cairo, Egypt, and are dealing with different aspects of relationships with different men. So far, I have been introduced to Huda, Selwa, and Karima. Karima is the mother of Huda, and Selwa is Huda's grandmother. Huda is having to go through the pressure of finding a suitor to marry, but she is in love with a boy she attends the university with. He is poor and has to work two jobs, and this is not an acceptable suitor in the eyes of her mother, Karima. Selwa is not as unaccepting as Karima, she mysteriously tells Huda, "You'll see. You're not waiting for anything from anyone."
