Mi parte favorita, sin embargo, de este libro es el detalle con el que se describen las diferencias culturales entre Leyla y Tala, y las presiones que ellas tienen que sobrellevar por parte de su familia y de los canones aceptados en cada cultura. Este libro ahonda en los detalles culturales, la idiosincrasia, la vida en Surrey y en Medio Oriente, y los presenta de una manera natural. Todas las dudas y la inconformidad por ir en contra de su cultura, son muy bien descritas y lleva al lector a entender la posición de cada una de ellas.
Yo ya era fan de la película, pero nunca supe que la película estaba basada en este libro. A pesar de que la película cae en una comedia palomitera, el libro viene a cerrar el círculo y a hacer de esta novela una experiencia multicultural y muy enriquecedora.
And I love the movie a lot.
I'm so glad I did, the novel was so much better.
Since I purchased it, I've probably read it 3 times already.
If you thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I was highly recommend picking up this book and taking the time to read it.
You won't regret it.
It turns out, it’s actually pretty fitting that I watched the movie for I Can’t Think Straight before read the book, since the movie was actually done before most the book. Before cowriting the screenplay Sarif had only written the first draft of the book. I actually learned that since reading the I Can’t Think Straight when I finally got a hold of my own copy of the movies and watched the director’s commentary. However the book was published before the movie was released due to issues the movie had with their financier and things not getting paid.
I can’t think straight follows Tala, a Christian Palestinian from Jordan living in London, and Leyla, a Muslim girl of Indian descent from London’s suburbs. Tala is nearing the end of her fourth engagement, and will hopefully this time make it to the altar, when a friend of hers from her first engagement, Ali, brings his girlfriend Layla on a quick visit. Despite initial awkward and overly political conversation, and a fierce tennis battle, the two girls quickly feel drawn to each other both as friends and as something more.
Because of the different format and the book we got to see and understand several the characters much better and more fully than in the movie, especially several the supporting characters.. One of Tala’s two younger sisters, Lamia’s character, especially is so much more developed here. I still don’t particularly like her, but here I was able to connect with Lamia much better and she was just a much fuller character.
There is one moment from each format that I will definitely find myself missing when a watch either the film or read the book. Both are centered around a fairly minor character Kareem, Tala’s brother-in-law and Lamia’s husband, and his relationship with one or the other of these two women. Neither scene really forwarded the plot a whole lot, but they really help me understand the character a lot better.
Because of I Can’t Think Straight’s lesbian romance anyone not interested in LGBT fiction should probably just not even bother. Other readers might want to keep in mind that the characters backgrounds both religiously and culturally put a lot into this book, and it contains several political discussions involving the Middle East, especially relations between Israel and Palestine. It also showcases a lot of tension between Christian Middle Eastern’s and the Jewish and Muslim communities. Not everyone wants to read about these political discussions, especially in the romance novels, but I think they’re definitely really importance discussions that need to be going on and parts of which especially about Christian Middle Eastern errors might not be very common knowledge.
