Product Description
Tala, a London-based Palestinian, is preparing for her elaborate Middle Eastern wedding when she meets Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend.
Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other, but the attraction is immediate and goes deeper than friendship. As Tala’s wedding day approaches, simmering tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself.
Moving between the vast enclaves of Middle Eastern high society and the stunning backdrop of London’s West End, I Can’t Think Straight explores the clashes between East and West, love and marriage, conventions and individuality, creating a humorous and tender story of unexpected love and unusual freedoms.

有很多小細節是電影裏沒有或者改掉瞭的,語言比那啥雪花和秘密的扇子難懂些,趕腳對閱讀很有好處。其實有些細節完全可以放到電影裏的,也不會增加多少時間啊,但會大大增強連貫性~ ps:忘瞭和fingersmith的語言比起來咋樣瞭~
评分平行世界我可望而不可得的童話
评分Well not necessarily better than the movie, in some case, screenwriting was better. However, the book offered more details and room for imagination. Movie is one of this thing, that you have to show everything in as little as two hours.
评分typical fairy-tale,with the easy tinge of humor,which makes it a movie material.Lisa Ray is too glamorous and heightened the fond dream level.
评分看過中文譯本,很不錯
