“The Fault Beneath Us” by Rose Clayworth Explores the Complexities of Marriage Across Cultures
TOMAH, WI, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rose Clayworth’s book, “The Fault Beneath Us”, delves into the intricacies of marriage when it crosses the boundaries of geography, culture, and language. Set against the backdrop of a life-altering move, the narrative chronicles the protagonist’s experience of leaving her independent life in the UK to settle in Kuwait with her Palestinian Christian husband. After six years of knowing him in London, she enters this new phase with trust and anticipation, eager to embrace his family, culture, and a future of starting a family in an unfamiliar setting.
The book deftly illustrates the emotional and cultural challenges of adjusting to a new life in Kuwait, offering insights into the demands placed on marriage in such a unique and complex environment. With little knowledge of what awaits her and faced with the realities of her new life, the protagonist quickly discovers that marriage in a foreign land requires more than just love and trust. The story unveils a metaphorical fault line in the marriage, a subtle yet significant shift that exposes the vulnerabilities, mistakes, and lessons learned by both partners. “The Fault Beneath Us” highlights the importance of resilience and understanding, even as fault lines begin to surface beneath the facade of a perfect union.
About the Author
Rose Clayworth brings a wealth of international experience to her writing, having spent 50 years teaching ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) across five continents. Her work explores how individuals view themselves as agents of their own destiny, particularly in complex social, cultural and geographical contexts. With “The Fault Beneath Us”, Clayworth offers a thoughtful exploration of identity, relationships, and personal growth, drawing on her unique insights from decades of global experience.
The inspiration behind writing this book is the value of marriage that continues to be viewed as the essential basis for family life in many cultures and religions around the world. While some Western couples choose to wait until after having children to marry, Rose's situation is different in this story. In the country where she is to reside, both the government and religious laws prohibit couples from living together without getting married first. As a result, Rose finds herself in a position where the decision to marry is not a matter of choice but necessity. To remain with her partner of six years, she must face the complexities of marriage despite her reluctance to relinquish her independence.
Message from the Author
“Marriage makes splitting up very difficult for families and even couples with no children. The law is difficult to negotiate wherever the marriage occurs. However, many people have expectations of marital life which cannot always be fulfilled. Staying in an unhappy marriage, or leaving it, without harming anyone, is a challenge and inevitably causes pain.”
