In two minds about this book. On one hand it can be seen as the suppression of women and their sexuality in a patriarchal society, and the heightened erotic reclaiming of their bodies (both as children and women). On the other hand, it's a way for the writer to get down as many different sexual words and permutations onto the page before someone finds out they've written a "smutty" book.[return][return]In the end I got bored, which is bad for such as short book. The chapters were often show more short, sometimes very lyrical and enjoyable, but in the end quite unengaging show less
Als een uitgehuwelijkt Arabisch meisje niet bloedt tijdens de huwelijksnacht, is de familie in rep en roer. Een vrijgevochten weduwe neemt haar mee op een lange reis langs afgelegen dorpjes en stadjes wat een groot erotisch avontuur wordt.
This racy tale of one young Muslim woman's escape from the stranglehold of a loveless marriage and her subsequent sexual awakening is fascinating, sometimes riveting, and often bittersweet. Best read on the beach with a cold breeze is blowing.
Novela erótica narrada por una voz femenina. Típica del género, situada en el Magreb y con algunos elementos exóticos, es una historia desgraciada en el que la sexualidad femenina es primero controlada y reprimida y después, una vez ´liberada, continua siendo una fuente de dificultades que proporciona muy poca felicidad a la protagonista. Una novela menor dentro de un género muy limitado.
