The Broken Wings
by Kahlil Gibran
Available now★★★★★
A short, poetic novel about first love and heartbreak, set in Beirut in the early 1900s. A young man falls for Selma Karamy, but she is promised in marriage to the nephew of a powerful religious leader. Gibran's lyrical writing is tender and sad, and it raises questions about duty, women's lives and the misuse of religious power. It is a quiet, moving read for grown-ups who enjoy reflective prose.
