Description Paperback: 320 pages Publisher: Anchor; 1 edition (April 6, 2010) Language: English ISBN-10: 0307472310 ISBN-13: 978-0307472311 Release Date: April 6, 2010 In a masterly act of literary transformation, celebrated novelist Hanan al-Shaykh re-creates the dramatic life and times of her mother, Kamila. Married at a young age against her will, Kamila soon fell head-over-heels in love with another man—and was thus forced to choose between her children and her lover. As the narrative unfolds through the years—from the bazaars, cinemas and apartments of 1930s Beirut to its war-torn streets decades later—we follow this passionate woman as she survives the tragedies and celebrates the triumphs of a life lived to the very fullest.
