Sweeping and dreamlike, this family saga highlights the uniquely lonely experiences of womanhood, especially when trapped in the orbit of domineering men. Poetic and nonlinear, this recollection reliant narrative captures the fluid nature of memory, with age and experience, our views of the past, and the people around us, become a carousel of emotions, ever shifting from regret to enlightenment, from peace to turmoil. We so often align with our mothers, grandmothers, the women we are raised by, those who we love but misunderstood, those who we are warned against. A rewarding read.

between Author Alharthi and Translator Booth!

I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA EDELWEISS+. THANK YOU.

My Review
: Celestial Bodies, Author Alharthi and Translator Booth's previous literary collaboration, revolved around three women and their men...present, absent, loved, loathed, and longed for. It received the 2019 Man Booker International Prize, as it was called then. I myownself checked it out of the library and would've given it a three-star review had I bothered to review it at all...stories centering women organizing themselves and their worlds around men don't appeal to me. The prose was lyrical and pungent.

That last is what I love about this read:
I had gone. And then she had gone. And it wasn't possible to change anything. What the hand of fate had written could not be unwritten. That ancient line of poetry: All your tears, all your pleas, will erase not a line of that which is written. For I had gone, and I went away without smiling. I just went, in my cocky presumption that I could look the other way. That I didn't know; that I didn't need to know. And then remorse. Harsh, grating regret, making me more fragile than the brittle autumn leaves crumbling under the janitor's broom beneath my window.

鈥揳苍诲鈥�

"My grandmother would've given anything to be a peasant farmer," I said. And then immediately I regretted my abrupt reaction. Suroor raised her head. "Your grandmother?" Right. The words had come out and they couldn't be put back. I had said it: my grandmother. Why don't words come automatically with threads that we can yank to pull them back inside ourselves? But there are no threads attached. Those words had been said. What's done is done.

It's all there. Author Alharthi's style, the sentences not too terribly complex but the interrelationship of the words and images is dense, is active, is trellising the reader's vines of awareness into specific patterns that cast wildly distorting shadows on the life in the text.

It is exhilarating to read a simple story that reaches into shadows and under storage shelves and behind armoires in the reader. It means the writer and the translator have offered us everything they found when they rummaged through those spaces in themselves. If you, as I strongly suggest that you do, read the Electric Lit piece I've linked above, you'll come at this read with a vastly bigger experience of the intentionality of the writing. I think the best thing about that awareness, acquired before (in your case) or after (as in mine) finishing the novel, is its honing, its sharpening, of the decoding tools you have at your disposal to be in the read. I've chosen those two passages from the same early section of the story to illustrate that enriching quality.

What reading Bitter Orange Tree offered me was a stroll in a garden planted with almost-familiar-scented plants in service of a geometry slightly not what I am accustomed to (read: not centered so heavily on the women's men). The way the choices I've selected above interrelate and build on the character of Zuhour's perceptual world, the sensory and the eidetic, are the principal pleasure of this read. Like my stream-of-consciousness idol Virginia Woolf, the words build images and the images are shaped by the words as well as by the things the words evoke from us in their saying. Everything Zuhour senses is an image from her startlingly acute inner world...no fogs of forgetfulness (even when summoned, as above) cloud her quietly desperate longing for one more, once again, please just this single time.

Of course she gets none. No one does, and no depths of longing can break the iron arrow...crossbow quarrel, more like...of time. No matter how many times one says ignore, actually performing the act of ignoring is entirely different and often opposed by the metaphysical gravity of love. (I think it was this strange, off-kilter perceptual frame that reduced my rating from five to four stars, though....)

Because yes, this is a love story. Aren't they all. Yes, they all are but this love, Zuhour's love, is so tragically lacking self-love that it's the desperately sad kind of love-ungiven story that can reshape a life. Yours, o reader, if you will allow it; better or worse, as you use it.

Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction

Celestial Bodies, Marilyn Booth's translation of 爻賷丿丕鬲 丕賱賯賲乇 ((2010by 噩賵禺丞 丕賱丨丕乇孬賷 (Jokha Alharthi) won the 2019 Man Booker International. It certainly wasn't my favourite on the shortlist, but I felt it was an interesting choice by the judges, a book whose strengths lay in its deep cultural insights and clever construction.

My review: /book/show/4...

Bitter Orange Tree is from the same author/translator, based on a 2016 original, 賳丕乇賳噩丞.

Stylistically it is similar, with short chapters recollected in a non-linear fashion. Our first person narrator is a Omani university student in London. Her present-day story focuses not (directly at least) on herself but rather a friend of her and her sister, both originally from Pakistan, the latter cut-off from her rich family for having married someone from a poorer background. But the novel's heart is her recollection of her own family story, particularly that of her grandmother (although not biologically so) who spent her days under the titular bitter orange tree.

In my mind, I see the pale shadow cast by the house鈥檚 outer wall onto the ground inside the compound, and I see her sitting on a mat in the courtyard, her legs stretched in front of her, absorbed in drinking her coffee. She is not weighted down by thoughts. She is not remembering anything, not missing anything or wishing for it, not dreaming of anything as she sits under the ample shade of the bitter orange tree.

I think this is as much my failing as the novel's but I really didn't connect with this at all:

- the connection between the past family story and present-day story was unclear to me, and indeed the relevance at all of the latter, other than a loose theme in the novel of people trying to control their lives like kites in the wind;

- the non-linear, rather repetitive, style of the stories stretched the novel beyond my patience (224 is simply too long for my taste);

- and the style also meant it was hard to keep track of or be interested in the characters. I felt at times, when a new chapter started with another story of peripheral characters like one of those in the novel:

Athurayyaa had been a little girl, barely completing her fifth year of life, when her cousin Salman left for Zanzibar. She didn鈥檛 have any memory of him, didn鈥檛 recognize him 39 when he returned, even if his name was a familiar one.

2.5 stars. Thanks to the publisher via Netgalley for the ARC.

An extract (from 2019, so edited for final publication) from the start of the novel for the reader of the review to decide for themselves if the style appeals:

It was a good book that I wasn't disappointed in picking up. But didn't spark any big emotions either. It's more of a middle star read for me

In 2019, Omani author Jokha Alharthi won the International Booker Prize for 鈥淐elestial Bodies.鈥� Her multifaceted generational story, translated from the Arabic by Marilyn Booth, offered English readers a rare look at Omani literature, particularly Omani fiction by a woman. Indeed, amid the surge of international attention generated by the U.K. award, Alharthi noted, 鈥淧eople were surprised by the book, and some even said they had no idea a country named Oman existed.鈥�

The second of Alharthi鈥檚 novels to be translated into English, 鈥淏itter Orange Tree,鈥� arrives this month and should find a primed and better-informed audience. As before, the author continues to demonstrate a deep sympathy for the ways women suffer and survive the vicissitudes of a society that gives them little agency. And fans will recognize Alharthi鈥檚 fluid treatment of chronology and setting, once again gorgeously translated by Booth.

Alharthi, who earned a Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh and now teaches in Oman, can simultaneously emphasize the universality of her characters鈥� feelings and the unique cultural context of their experiences. 鈥淏itter Orange Tree鈥� is a story of mourning and alienation, and Alharthi has developed a tone that captures that sense of being suspended in the timelessness of grief.

Mas que livro t茫o, mas t茫o triste 馃槩
Um conselho: n茫o leiam a sinopse, pois conta o fim do livro, onde se percebe a raz茫o de a personagem principal reagir como reage.

A edi莽茫o portuguesa tem v谩rios erros gramaticais e essa maldade de contar a parte mais importante na sinopse鈥�

Gostei muito da escrita e do facto de ser um livro curto com uma grande hist贸ria!

This is my second try with Alharthi after her 'Celestial Bodies' and I'm going to have to accept that her books and I don't gel. Fragmented styles can work (I'm thinking of Transcendent Kingdom, for example) but here it just feels rambling. I also struggle with Alharthi's trademark indirect speech style where everything feels like it's happening behind a thick pane of glass and that lack of immediacy leaves me cold. As fascinated as I am to learn something of Oman, this book just isn't for me.

by , translated from the Arabic by Marilyn Booth, unfolds in the first-person voice of Zuhour, a young Omani student studying at a British university. Zuhour braids together four threads in a non-linear structure, dipping spontaneously in and out of the threads until each is gradually revealed in its entirety. Her voice is plagued with guilt, regrets, and unshakeable sorrow.

The primary thread explores the back story of Bint Aamir, Zuhour鈥檚 adoptive grandmother, who dies shortly after Zuhour leaves Oman for her studies. Bint Aamir鈥檚 back story reveals the struggles of her early childhood after she and her brother are cast out of their home. Upon her brother鈥檚 death, she moves in with her relatives, Zuhour鈥檚 grandfather and his family. She raises Zuhour鈥檚 father as if he were her son, and raises his children鈥擹uhour and her two siblings鈥攁s their surrogate grandmother. Zuhour describes Bint Aamir as tall, proud, intelligent, selfless, and a childless spinster fiercely protective of the adopted children under her care. Taken for granted, ignored, blind in one eye, Bint Aamir鈥檚 physical condition deteriorates with age until she is no longer able to walk. After her death, Zuhour is haunted by the sound of her voice, pleading for companionship.

The second thread is of Zuhour鈥檚 older sister, Sumayaa. Described as an energetic, lively, talkative dynamo in her youth, she enters her marriage full of hopes and dreams. Her husband physically abuses and torments her, and despite her repeated attempts to return to her family, she is always sent back to live with him. After his accidental death, Sumayaa loses her voice and will not鈥攐r cannot鈥攕peak.

The third thread involves Zuhour鈥檚 class mates, two Pakistani sisters, Kuhl and Suroor. Kuhl is in love with Imran, a young Pakistani from a rural, impoverished background. She marries him in secret, afraid to tell her parents who would never approve of her marriage to someone beneath her social class. Zuhour becomes part of their circle and is attracted to Imran.

The fourth thread depicts Zuhour鈥檚 struggles with living in a foreign country, speaking a foreign language, and accommodating to a foreign culture.

The narrative constantly shifts between these four threads in a series of vignettes and anecdotes. Peppered throughout are Zuhour鈥檚 dreams, memories, and glimpses of Omani life. A mournful tone permeates as Zuhour considers the plight of different generations of women who have in common cultures that deny women freedom and agency. She is burdened with grief over the trajectory of her grandmother鈥檚 life, her sister鈥檚 crushed spirit, and Kuhl鈥檚 need for secrecy. The narrative offers no resolutions, no expressions of hope鈥攋ust sorrow and despair.

Alharthi demonstrates sympathy for the plight of women and their suffering. She successfully captures a sense of mourning and profound sadness, but the novel is missing narrative build-up, movement, and character development. All that is offered are a series of vignettes of thwarted female aspirations. That may be sufficient for some readers; but others may be left wanting and hoping for more.

I found my audiobook copy of BITTER ORANGE TREE by Jokha Alharthi on Scrib'd!

I am really not sure what I just listened to, but I enjoyed the narrator, Marilyn Booth. Enough to listen to the end and try to find some thread of narrative. But I never did.

"R眉yamda ba艧ucuma ser莽eler dolu艧unca uyand谋m."

Bu kitaptan se莽ilecek c眉mle bu de臒il belki ama bir yandan da tam da bu - 莽眉nk眉 kitab谋n b谋rakt谋臒谋 naif, 艧iirli, r眉yams谋 duyguyu 枚yle g眉zel tarif ediyor ki. Dolunay Kad谋nlar谋 kitab谋 ile 2019'da Uluslararas谋 Booker 脰d眉l眉'n眉 alan Ummanl谋 yazar Jokha Alharthi'nin son kitab谋 Turun莽 A臒ac谋'n谋 a莽谋k莽as谋 Dolunay Kad谋nlar谋'ndan daha 莽ok sevdim. Onun kadar g枚rkemli de臒il 艧眉phesiz, daha kendi halinde bir kitap ama tam da o yal谋nl谋臒谋 nedeniyle 莽ok g眉zel, 莽ok ger莽ek.

陌ngiltere'de okuyan, Ummanl谋 Zuhur adl谋 bir gen莽 kad谋n谋n a臒z谋ndan hayat谋n谋, arkada艧lar谋n谋 ama en 莽ok da yitip gitmi艧 b眉y眉kannesini, "Amir'in K谋z谋"n谋 dinliyoruz. Zuhur g眉n眉m眉zde ge莽en 枚yk眉s眉n眉 anlat谋rken bamba艧ka bir ku艧a臒谋n ve bamba艧ka bir k眉lt眉r眉n temsilcisi b眉y眉kannesini 艧efkat ve yer yer pi艧manl谋kla an谋ms谋yor ve an谋msad谋k莽a asl谋nda aradan ge莽en iki ku艧a臒a ra臒men ya艧ad谋klar谋 sorunlar谋n ne kadar benzedi臒ini ortaya koyuyor. Co臒rafya kader midir bilemem ama sonu莽ta bu kad谋nlar谋n ortak 莽abalar谋 ve ac谋lar谋 var, bunu g枚r眉yoruz.

Amir'in K谋z谋, tipik bir Ortado臒ulu kad谋n. Hayatta kendisi i莽in hi莽bir 艧ey istememi艧, isteyememi艧, mutlulu臒unu tamamen 莽ocu臒unun, torunlar谋n谋n mutlulu臒u 眉zerinden tan谋mlamay谋 枚臒renmi艧, sevmemi艧, sevilmemi艧, sevi艧memi艧. Zuhur b眉y眉kannesinin hayat谋na bak谋p h眉z眉nleniyor, oradaki sorunu g枚r眉yor ama kendisi de bir yan谋yla hala ziyadesiyle Ortado臒ulu, kendisi i莽in bir 艧ey istemeyi o ne kadar biliyor acaba, mutlulu臒un bir "hak" oldu臒unun ne kadar fark谋nda, oras谋 me莽hul. Bu t眉r bir toplumda kad谋n olarak d眉nyaya gelmenin tarifi zor y眉k眉n眉 s谋rt谋ndan ne kadar atabilmi艧, atabilmi艧 mi yahut? Bunlar谋 d眉艧眉nd眉r眉yor yazar.

Zamanda ileri-geri giden anlat谋 belki zorlay谋c谋 olabilir ama hat谋rlamak tam da b枚yle 莽al谋艧an bir mekanizma, ba艧ka t眉rl眉 yaz谋lsa olmazm谋艧 bence bu metin. Ne tam Ortado臒ulu, ne tam Bat谋l谋 olabilmi艧 bir toplumda ya艧ayan bir kad谋n olarak bana 莽ok 艧ey sundu bu kitap. Merak ediyorum fakat - acaba Alharthi'nin kitaplar谋ndaki tekrarlayan bu izleklere dair Bat谋l谋lar ne d眉艧眉n眉yor, onlar nas谋l bir yerden okuyorlar? Bamba艧ka bir 艧ey deneyimledi臒imiz muhakkak. Belki de bu y眉zden g眉zel ve k谋ymetlidir, diyerek bitireyim.

Depois de Corpos Celestes n茫o podia deixar de ler Laranjeira-Amarga. Jokha Alharthi tem uma escrita intimista, com laivos de ancestralidade que mant茅m as mulheres subjugadas e v铆timas de um patriarcado na Pen铆nsula Ar谩bica e uma dignidade e for莽a que lhes permite transcender amarras e alcan莽ar a intemporalidade. Algumas, privilegiadas, conseguem dar voz a essas mulheres. As primeiras p谩ginas deste romance cativam e impressionam o leitor. Bint Aamir 茅 a personagem que nos toca o cora莽茫o. Zuhour 茅 a narradora que partiu.

Romance em que muitas s茫o as personagens femininas que em paralelo interv茅m com apontamentos sobre as suas vidas. Enquanto umas cresciam convencidas que as escolhas da vida j谩 estavam predestinadas, outras rebelam-se. E muitas quebram. Pujante narrativa que numa prosa refinada nos enriquece tanto. De cortar a respira莽茫o. Obrigat贸rio ler. Ademais, num dia em que se comemora a liberdade. Uma pena que certos livros n茫o tenham o destaque que merecem.

This is a book I picked up (on my library app) based on its cover alone, without even reading the synopsis - and I'm truly glad that I did.

Beautiful, lyrical, dizzying - the tale of multiple women, of Bint Aamir and Zuhour, of loss and broken hearts and families that were and were not what they should have been.

This non-linear intergenerational tale is based on an Omani family, tracing their paths from Oman to Zanzibar and back again, to Zuhour in London, wracked with grief and loss and remorse over her grandmother-who-was-not-her-grandmother. There was one particular storyline I wasn't very clear on (Suroor and Imran and Zuhour's fixation on them), but tbh I didn't feel any pressure to spend time fussing over it and simply enjoyed the writing for what it was. I'm a sucker for angst anyway, and this book delivers it in heartrending ways.

I won't pretend to have properly understood or appreciated the deeper messages of this novel, but the prose is truly gorgeous, and my heart ached the entire time I was reading. I'm genuinely impressed that this was translated from Arabic - the English itself is so stunningly beautiful to read.

(Also, yes, this is another sad ethnic family drama, but it's so good that I'm not even mad about it.)

Ir dar nustebino mane, kaip gra啪i kalba, paskiri nuostab奴s pasa啪ai labiau nervina, nei 啪avi.

Some lush and beautiful descriptions along with a few well-placed extended metaphors, yet they鈥檙e not remarkable enough to compensate for the fairly plotless movement from one character to another. Quite a few are indeed introduced throughout such a short novel. I found myself enjoying Celestial Bodies more than this, yet this was still an interesting albeit a tad disappointing follow-up. Hoping to see more positive reviews pop up so I can reassess.
