In a remote community on the edge of a windswept desert, a woman has been condemned to death by stoning. Steeped in the harsh values of her traditional, patriarchal society, Noor accepts her fate. When an aid worker befriends her, urging her to defend herself and her unborn child, the two women form a bond. Together with Amina, Noor's outspoken friend, they struggle to defy the law. Written in prose imbued with the rhythms and images of the author's native language, Arabic, this is a tale of the bonds of female friendships, solidarity and empowerment in a society where a woman's voice, especially in the public sphere, has been denied.
Les mer
A moving exploration of female friendships in the face of patriarchal oppression, Seven Stones illuminates the complexities that affect cross-cultural relationships.
Vénus-Khoury-Ghata's spare, unflinching prose leads the reader to very heart of violence, to the essence of the unending struggle between liberty and submission, between social traditions and the freedom to love as one chooses.
Les mer
"A timely and necessary read... powerful and endlessly smart, it's a crucial work of fiction for people of all ages."
