Amal Awad is a Palestinian-Australian Muslim, a child of the 80s, and an eternal advocate of good grammar. She graduated university with an arts/law degree, practised very briefly as a lawyer and now works as a journalist. Courting Samira is her first novel.
It may be the 21st century, but who says courtship is obsolete? This story is a light-hearted but honest peek into the life of a young, single Muslim woman living in Sydney – the joys of a blossoming romance (all very proper), the courtship rituals (so Jane Austen), the struggle with career and, of course, Arab Guilt.
