Too Soon by Betty Shamieh
Arabella, a thirty-five-year-old New York theatre director, accepts an opportunity to stage a daring, cross-dressing take on a Shakespeare play in the West Bank as her career and love life stall. Her match‑making grandmother Zoya arranges a meeting with Aziz, a Palestinian American doctor, even as Arabella is attracted to Yoav, an Israeli American designer—tensions that echo Zoya’s own past and the unresolved choices of her sister Naya. The story follows family ties, desire, and how old secrets shape new relationships.
