Pact We Made

The Pact We Made tells the story of Dahlia who is staring down the barrel of her thirtieth birthday, the age when a Kuwaiti woman from a good family is past
her prime marrying years.

Dahlia straddles two worlds: one in which she’s a modern woman living in a modern city, and another where she can’t have male friends, or leave the country without her father’s consent.

With shades of Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, and woven through with reflections on Ariel’s story from The Tempest, The Pact We Made explores ideas of freedom and the duality of being a woman in Kuwait.

Pactul pe care l-am facut spune povestea lui Dahlia, care se uita la teava aniversarii a treizeci de ani, varsta in care o femeie kuweiteana dintr-o familie buna este un pastor care se casatoreste in primii ani. un oras modern si un altul in care nu poate avea prieteni de sex masculin sau nu poate parasi tara fara acordul tatalui ei. a libertatii si a dualitatii de a fi femeie in Kuweit.
