Description
A story in in praise of a woman, a fighter, a survivor from the award-winning French-Moroccan novelist known for humanizing North Africa's otherwise marginalized characters--prostitutes and thieves, trans and gay people in a world where being LGBTQ+ can be a dangerous act. Shortlisted for the prestigious Prix Goncourt in 2022. Three moments in the life of Malika, a Moroccan countrywoman is her voice we hear in Abdellah Taïa's stunning new novel, translated by Emma Ramadan, who won the PEN Translation Prize for her translation of Taia's last novel, A Country for Dying. Malika's first husband was sent by the French to fight in Indochina, the novel takes place from 1954 to 1999 -- from French colonization to the death of King Hassan II. In the 1960s, in Rabat, she does everything possible to prevent her daughter Khadija from becoming a maid in a rich French woman's villa. The day before the death of Hassan II, a young homosexual thief, Jaâfar, enters her home and wants to kill her. Malika recounts with rage her strategies to escape the injustices of history. To survive and to have a little space of her own. Malika is Taïa's mother: M'Barka Allali Taïa (1930-2010). This book is dedicated to her.
