Reviews

Arusha is a sharply drawn story that is not often told. A man who marries a beard and tries to live a heteronormative life. The wife who can accept that. And then what happens when that tension of maintaining normalcy becomes too much--too powerful to ignore -- and she is faced with all the fall-out she could ever imagine, and even more her pedestrian life couldn't prepare her for.--Lambda Literary Review
