Celestial Bodies is set in the village of al-Awafi in Oman, where we encounter three sisters: Mayya, who marries Abdallah after a heartbreak; Asma, who marries from a sense of duty; and Khawla who rejects all offers while waiting for her beloved, who has emigrated to Canada. These three women and their families witness Oman evolve from a traditional, slave-owning society slowly redefining itself after the colonial era, to the crossroads of its complex present. Elegantly structured and taut, Celestial Bodies is a coiled spring of a novel, telling of Oman's coming-of-age through the prism of one family's losses and loves.
Abdullah retrospected the reciprocated love between him and his wife, and the complex intimate family relationships with all the people involved in under Oman’s past and coming of age. Relationships in realistic world ran like the celestial bodies, if one met another good things may happen, or the best; if met others may occurs the worst.
评分Wallahi... love is dreams, marriage is for real. Life, responsibility, children. No illusions. The right person is the one who respects and honors you, and you feel totally comfortable with, the one who will be a father you can be proud of, for your children’s sake.
