قميص الصوف

This short story collection by Lebanese writer Tawfiq Yusuf Awwad was first published in 1937 by Dar al-Makshuf. Its title story follows Odette, a city girl who elopes with Amin, a young man from a neighboring mountain village, against her father's wishes — and the strain that follows as she adjusts to life among his family. The collection's other stories turn the same eye on ordinary Lebanese lives, exploring class, family conflict, and the tension between village and city.
