(P/B) L'AMANDE

Παρουσίαση

A novel about the sexual awakening of an Arab woman first published in France, L'Amande is both poetic and raw, an unforgettable journey into a hidden erotic world. (From the publisher)

"This is a book of incredible audacity. It is the story, dense and lyrical at once, without concession and without illusion, of sexual passion, and it is written by a woman from a Muslim culture. But the author succeeds at another feat as well: even as she revolts against her repressive upbringing, nevertheless she makes us rediscover an Islam where the most beautiful sins "earn Heaven"." (Catherine Millet, author of The Sexual Life of Catherine M)
"A heart-rending tale told by a woman who rescues her sexuality from a culture of repression and, in the bright lights and dark places of the city, bursts into flames of anger and desire and love. An important and unforgettable read." (Jane Juska, author of A Round-heeled Woman)
