An Arabic translated novel from revered Egyptian author Nawal El - Saadawi.

It’s a captivating and emotional read that’s so hard to pull away from. The life of a woman on death row told from her prison cell moments before her execution.

I don’t want to spoil it by bearing all. This book has given a voice to a lot of women who suffer a lack of opportunity in Egypt and in fact many countries around the world.

The prose is the way Arabic would be written/spoken, many definitions for one thing or a moment. So sometimes it may feel the writing is going on for a while but that is the nature of the Arabic language and it’s beautiful!
