I thought the novel 'The Story of Zahra', published in 1980, similar to America's famous novel of a woman who loses her sense of self in the book . 'The Story of Zahra is more sharply painful to read because it is goes directly to the point.

Zahra is very very crazy from the start even as a child. Some readers think it is because of her parents - her mother used her to disguise a secret sexual affair, and her father was cruel and beat Zahra and her mother over nothing and everything. Perhaps PTSD? Zahra comes from a conservative Shia family - is it the strict watchfulness and criticism of her behavior and looks (she is plain, and suffers from acne) part of the reason for her overreactions? Was she one of those people who are born anxious and sensitive, pushed over into near insanity by her environment and culture? Zahra does not seem to have internal resources, including education beyond a basic one, or curiosity to understand. To me, her defense is to run away from the horrible 'now' whatever it is, as well as an unconscious passive aggression, or maybe a self-destructive rage, or maybe all of the above. She constantly makes misbegotten choices.

The author Hanan al-Shaykh is a famous author of stories about the Middle East. I think the book's literary nuances went over my head to some degree. Much about living in Islamic culture for women appears awful to me generally, a Western woman. This novel appears to express and confirm my opinion. In any case, there is explicit sex in the book, too. I don't know if it is the unmarried sex, the abuse, or Zahra's unhappiness with her life which has caused most Muslim countries to ban this book.

Yes, gentle reader. This is a banned book!

The novel takes place in Lebanon and in Egypt just before and during the civil war in Lebanon of 1975. I remember reading about this awful terrible seemingly endless war. The war turned Lebanon into a dystopic hell. There were so many political and religious factions shooting each other, and then Russia and America, among other outside agitators, mixed into the morass. The war would stop, then start again, then stop, then start again, until maybe 1990.

I have read the main character, Zahra, is a literary symbol of the seemingly endless civil war in Lebanon. If that is true, Zahra definitely is a character who cannot pull out a single purpose, direction or solution to the mystery of who or what she wants - maybe like Lebanon at the time. But if so, I don't think she is the literary representative of the militias which tore Lebanon apart. She seems to me more the helpless Lebanese nation itself being symbolically represented as a woman driven mad, if the story indeed has an underlying literary meaning. She is Lebanon, the way we use the pronoun she for America. Interesting statement for a patriarchal religion and culture.


Below are excerpts from Wikipedia . Readers too young to know about 1975 Lebanon may find the below bewildering. It WAS bewildering. The Middle East has been a mess for a long time.

Maronite Christian militias acquired arms from Romania and Bulgaria as well as from West Germany, Belgium and Israel, and drew supporters from the larger Maronite population in the north of the country, they were generally right-wing in their political outlook, and all the major Christian militias were Maronite-dominated, and other Christian sects played a secondary role.

Initially, the most powerful of the Maronite militias was the National Liberal Party which is also known as Ahrar who were politically led by the legendary president of Lebanon Camille Chamoun and military led by Dany Chamoun (who was assassinated in the 1990), the military wing of the Kataeb Party or Phalangists, which remained under the leadership of the charismatic William Hawi until his death. Few years later, the Phalange militia, became under the command of Bachir Gemayel, merged with several minor groups (Al-Tanzim, Guardians of the Cedars, Lebanese Youth Movement, Tyous Team of Commandos) and formed a professional army called the Lebanese Forces (LF). With the help of Israel, the LF established itself in Maronite-dominated strongholds and rapidly transformed from an unorganized and poorly equipped militia into a fearsome army that had now its own armor, artillery, commando units (SADM), a small Navy, and a highly advanced Intelligence branch. Meanwhile, in the north, the Marada Brigades served as the private militia of the Franjieh family and Zgharta, which became allied with Syria after breaking with the Lebanese Front in 1978. The Lebanese Forces split with the Tigers in 1980. In 1985, under the leadership of Geagea and Hobeika, they split entirely from the Phalangists and other groups to form an independent militia which was the dominant force in most Maronite areas.

The Tigers Militia was the military wing of the National Liberal Party (NLP/ AHRAR) during the Lebanese Civil War. The Tigers formed in Saadiyat in 1968, as Noumour Al Ahrar (Tigers of the Liberals, 賳賲賵乇 丕賱兀丨乇丕乇), under the leadership of Camille Chamoun.

Although several Lebanese militias claimed to be secular, most were little more than vehicles for sectarian interests. Still, there existed a number of non-religious groups, primarily but not exclusively of the left and/or Pan-Arab right.

Examples of this were the Lebanese Communist Party (LCP) and the more radical and independent Communist Action Organization (COA). Another notable example was the pan-Syrian Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), which promoted the concept of Greater Syria, in contrast to Pan-Arab or Lebanese nationalism. The SSNP was generally aligned with the Syrian government, although it did not ideologically approve of the Ba'athist government (however, this has changed recently, under Bashar Al-Assad, the SSNP having been allowed to exert political activity in Syria as well). The multi-confessional SSNP was led by Inaam Raad, a Catholic and Abdallah Saadeh, a Greek Orthodox. It was active in North Lebanon (Koura and Akkar), West Beirut (around Hamra Street), in Mount Lebanon (High Metn, Baabda, Aley and Chouf), in South Lebanon (Zahrani, Nabatieh, Marjayoun and Hasbaya) and the Beqqa Valley (Baalbeck, Hermel and Rashaya).

Another secular group was the South Lebanon Army (SLA), led by Saad Haddad. The SLA operated in South Lebanon in co-ordination with the Israelis, and worked for the Israeli-backed parallel government, called "the Government of Free Lebanon". The SLA began as a split from the Army of Free Lebanon, a Maronite faction within the Lebanese Army. Their initial goal was to be a bulwark against PLO raids and attacks into the Galilee, although they later focused on fighting Hezbollah. The officers tended to be Christians with a strong commitment to fighting the SLA's enemies, while most of the ordinary soldiers were Shia Muslims who frequently joined for the wages and were not always committed to the SLA fight against the PLO and Hezbollah. The SLA continued to operate after the civil war but collapsed after the Israeli army withdrew from South Lebanon in 2000. Many SLA soldiers fled to Israel, while others were captured in Lebanon and prosecuted for collaboration with Israel and treason.

Two competing Ba'ath movements were involved in the early stages of the war: a nationalist one known as "pro-Iraqi" headed by Abdul-Majeed Al-Rafei (Sunni) and Nicola Y. Ferzli (Greek Orthodox Christian), and a Marxist one known as "pro-Syrian" headed by Assem Qanso (Shiite).

The Kurdistan Workers' Party at the time had training camps in Lebanon, where they received support from the Syrians and the PLO. During the Israeli invasion, all PKK units were ordered to fight the Israeli forces. Eleven PKK fighters died in the conflict. Mahsum Korkmaz was the commander of all PKK forces in Lebanon.

The Armenian Marxist-Leninist militia ASALA was founded in PLO-controlled territory of West Beirut in 1975. This militia was led by revolutionary fighter Monte Melkonian and group-founder Hagop Hagopian. Closely aligned with the Palestinians, ASALA fought many battles on the side of the Lebanese National Movement and the PLO, most prominently against Israeli forces and their right-wing allies during the 1982 phase of the war. Melkonian was field commander during these battles, and assisted the PLO in its defense of West Beirut.

The Palestinian movement relocated most of its fighting strength to Lebanon at the end of 1970 after being expelled from Jordan in the events known as Black September. The umbrella organization, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)鈥攂y itself undoubtedly Lebanon's most potent fighting force at the time鈥攚as little more than a loose confederation, but its leader, Yassir Arafat, controlled all factions by buying their loyalties.

Lesser roles were played by the fractious Palestinian Liberation Front (PLF) and another split-off from the PFLP, the Syrian-aligned Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP-GC). To complicate things, the Ba'athist countries of Syria and Iraq both set up Palestinian puppet organizations within the PLO. The as-Sa'iqa was a Syrian-controlled militia, paralleled by the Arab Liberation Front (ALF) under Iraqi command. The Syrian government could also count on the Syrian brigades of the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA), formally but not functionally the PLO's regular army. Some PLA units sent by Egypt were under Arafat's command.

On 22 January 1976, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad brokered a truce between the two sides, while covertly beginning to move Syrian troops into Lebanon under the guise of the Palestine Liberation Army in order to bring the PLO back under Syrian influence and prevent the disintegration of Lebanon. Despite this, the violence continued to escalate. In March 1976, Lebanese President Suleiman Frangieh requested that Syria formally intervene.

The small Druze sect, strategically and dangerously seated on the Chouf in central Lebanon, had no natural allies, and so were compelled to put much effort into building alliances. Under the leadership of the Jumblatt family, first Kamal Jumblatt (the LNM leader) and then his son Walid, the Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) (Arabic: 丕賱丨夭亘 丕賱鬲賯丿賲賷 丕賱丕卮鬲乇丕賰賷, al-hizb al-taqadummi al-ishtiraki) served as an effective Druze militia, building excellent ties to the Soviet Union mainly, and with Syria upon the withdrawal of Israel to the south of the country. However, many Druze in Lebanon at the time were members of the non-religious party, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party. Under Kamal Jumblatt's leadership, the PSP was a major element in the Lebanese National Movement (LNM) which supported Lebanon's Arab identity and sympathized with the Palestinians. It built a powerful private army, which proved to be one of the strongest in the Lebanese Civil War of 1975 to 1990. It conquered much of Mount Lebanon and the Chouf District. Its main adversaries were the Maronite Christian Phalangist militia, and later the Lebanese Forces militia (which absorbed the Phalangists). The PSP suffered a major setback in 1977, when Kamal Jumblatt was assassinated. His son Walid succeeded him as leader of the party.

Throughout the spring of 1975, minor clashes in Lebanon had been building up towards all-out conflict, with the Lebanese National Movement (LNM) pitted against the Phalange, and the ever-weaker national government wavering between the need to maintain order and cater to its constituency. On the morning of 13 April 1975, unidentified gunmen in a speeding car fired on a church in the Christian East Beirut suburb of Ain el-Rummaneh, killing four people, including two Maronite Phalangists. Hours later, Phalangists led by the Gemayels killed 30 Palestinians traveling in Ain el-Rummaneh. Citywide clashes erupted in response to this "Bus Massacre". The Battle of the Hotels began in October 1975, and lasted until March in 1976.

On 6 December 1975, a day later known as Black Saturday, the killings of four Phalange members led Phalange to quickly and temporarily set up roadblocks throughout Beirut at which identification cards were inspected for religious affiliation. Many Palestinians or Lebanese Muslims passing through the roadblocks were killed immediately. Additionally, Phalange members took hostages and attacked Muslims in East Beirut. Muslim and Palestinian militias retaliated with force, increasing the total death count to between 200 and 600 civilians and militiamen. After this point, all-out fighting began between the militias.

In a vicious spiral of sectarian violence, civilians were an easy target. On 18 January 1976 an estimated 1,000鈥�1,500 people were killed by Maronite forces in the Karantina Massacre, followed two days later by a retaliatory strike on Damour by Palestinian militias. These two massacres prompted a mass exodus of Muslims and Christians, as people fearing retribution fled to areas under the control of their own sect. The ethnic and religious layout of the residential areas of the capital encouraged this process, and East and West Beirut were increasingly transformed into what was in effect Christian and Muslim Beirut. Also, the number of Maronite leftists who had allied with the LNM, and Muslim conservatives with the government, dropped sharply, as the war revealed itself as an utterly sectarian conflict. Another effect of the massacres was to bring in Yassir Arafat's well-armed Fatah and thereby the Palestine Liberation Organisation on the side of the LNM, as Palestinian sentiment was by now completely hostile to the Maronite forces.

The Shi'a militias were slow to form and join in the fighting. Initially, many Shi'a had sympathy for the Palestinians and a few had been drawn to the Lebanese Communist Party, but after 1970s Black September, there was a sudden influx of armed Palestinians to the Shi'a areas. South Lebanon's population is mainly Shi'a and the Palestinians soon set up base there for their attacks against the Israelis. The Palestinian movement quickly squandered its influence with the Shi'ite, as radical factions ruled by the gun in much of Shi'ite-inhabited southern Lebanon, where the refugee camps happened to be concentrated, and the mainstream PLO proved either unwilling or unable to rein them in.

The Palestinian radicals' secularism and behaviour had alienated the traditionalist Shi'ite community; the Shi'a did not want to pay the price for the PLO's rocket attacks from Southern Lebanon. The PLO created a state within a state in South Lebanon and this instigated a fury among Lebanon's Shi'a, who feared a retaliation from the Israelis to their native land in the South. The Shi士a predominated in the area of southern Lebanon that in the 1960s became an arena for the Israeli鈥揚alestinian conflict.

Written in 1980, as far as I know this is Hanan Al-Shaykh鈥檚 first book. Her writing style has vastly improved since then. For this reason I would only recommend this book to people who are already fans of her writing as a way to compare how she wrote back when she started and how she has developed as a writer. If you have never read Al-Shaykh鈥檚 works, I highly recommend her delightful reimagining of Arabian Nights , her moving real life story of her mother or the wicked, bold, tragic and comic novel . If you like these books by all means read . It鈥檚 not a bad book at all, in fact it put her on the literary map. It鈥檚 just the writing is not as good as the above books I mention. This book is also brutal. It deals with trauma, mental illness and oppression. As with books that deal with these issues, if it is not written in a captivating way it becomes a tiresome read.

"I would like everything about me to grind to a halt and for me to become like a window through which one looks and through which things are seen to move, while the window itself remains silent and still, observing people come and go.鈥�


I appreciated the depiction of main character Zahra鈥檚 psyche, but I think this book鈥檚 structure detracts from the overall whole. Divided into two parts, The Story of Zahra doesn鈥檛 quite fit together for me 鈥� it feels unbalanced, asymmetrical. The first part concerns Zahra鈥檚 childhood, an affair she has with an married man, and her marriage in Africa, a place she fled to in hopes of starting anew. The second half deals with the war in Lebanon, and her affair with a sniper in Beirut.

I think the second half was the true core of the book, and could have been expanded so that it formed the majority of the novel. The ending it reveals is shocking, vivid. And Hanan Al-Shaykh portrays the senselessness of war, the surrealism of it, acutely:

"How can people forget the nightmare overnight? How can they run smiling out of their homes, as though the deaths that happened only the day before occured in some other country? Suddenly I shudder as it seems clear to me that everything in our lives is on the verge of the disintegration. I ought to refuse to scrub the floor or prepare the food, make the bed or water the plant pots. I should let everything in the place die a slow death, and my father and mother would also do better if they stopped eating and living, for why should life continue inside the home when everything outside is collapsing? The apartment itself should fall down, too. Then it could be seen how war pervades the whole of Lebanon.鈥�


I don鈥檛 know what to do about the first part. It was certainly an odd choice to give both Zahra鈥檚 uncle and Zahra鈥檚 husband a chapter from their viewpoint, when otherwise the book is concerned wholly with the emotional state and thoughts of Zahra. This contributes, I think, to the problems I had with the structure 鈥� the sense it is unbalanced. I did like the nonlinear aspect, the episodes from Zahra鈥檚 childhood.

I think all of Zahra鈥檚 choices have to be viewed through her depression. She cycles between self-destructive apathy, episodes of recklessness or resignation, outbursts of emotion and pain. And she views the war through the logic of depression, which impels her actions (or non-actions) until the book's conclusion.

"When I heard that the battles raged fiercely and every front was an inferno, I felt calm. It meant that my perimeters were fixed by these walls, that nothing which my mother hoped for me could find a place inside them. The idea of my marrying again was buried deep by the thunder and lightning of the rockets. But it was all sick thinking, I would tell myself. My deep sleeping was a sickness, my devouring huge quantities of food was a sickness, my increasing weight, my wearing only my housecoat for two months on end were sicknesses. The scabs on my face that spread to my neck, to my shoulders, and my not caring about them, were a sickness. My silence was a sickness. My mother would launch into a tirade whenever she saw me in my housecoat during those two months, but I stayed completely silent. My indifference to her anxieties, especially when she tried to get out of me my real reason for divorcing Majed, was also a sickness.鈥�


I will try to read another book by Al-Shaykh in the future 鈥� a different story, framed perhaps in a more effective structure.

Not sure how to rate this, it was a crazy read from start to finish. Zahra is a deeply disturbed character who struggles with various mental health issues. She is vulnerable and treated badly at times, but also makes many bad choices. It is an important book, with an unexpected ending. I鈥檓 not sure I would read it again though.

I can understand why this book made some feel uncomfortable, it鈥檚 not an easy read at all. However, banning books is never the solution鈥ver.

It is the mid-1970鈥檚, and while Lebanon is erupting into civil war, Zahra鈥檚 face is erupting with acne. In The Story of Zahra al-Shaykh鈥檚 characters do more than make the political become personal- they embody the political.

The story of Zahra chronicles the journey of a young woman during the Lebanese civil war. Her tumultuous childhood and young adulthood involves familial abuse, abortions, travelling to visit an exiled uncle in Africa, a failed marriage, and more. The writing is compelling, vivid and tactile. Though I am a slow reader I traversed paragraphs and pages with ease, fully present and eager for the plot to unfold. Most of the story is told in the first person, Zahra鈥檚 insights and questions ensure the reader is constantly thinking and questioning, and the musicality of her voice is, at times, pause worthy. Early in the text we learn that the narrative point of view may not be as simple or straightforward as we imagined; Zahra鈥檚 witness transcends time and space. As the narrative progresses, Zahra鈥檚 voice matures. Our narrator grows to be a calm figure in the eye of the storm. This adds another element complexity to the novel, and a unique narrative texture.

Zahra changes in both subtle and dramatic ways throughout the novel. In the beginning, we meet a girl who endures small discomforts and large traumas in silence, while privately longing for her mother鈥檚 protection. Zahra isn鈥檛 the only character longing for something, and this deep and consuming longing 鈥� and how that longing is displaced and managed 鈥� is explored throughout the novel.

The absurdity of war is vividly depicted through the anguish and confusion felt by Zahra and her family. The reader hides with the family in their apartment, sitting next to Zahra, watching her father listen desperately to the radio in hopes of an announcement of cease-fire. Comprehensive descriptiveness clearly portrays the eerie transformation of peacetime to wartime, like the darkening of the sky before an afternoon August thunderstorm.

In The Story of Zahra, war is not confined to battlefields but is fully present at the dinner table, in the bathroom mirror, and in bed. al-Shaykh鈥檚 writing explores the embodiment of social trauma, while illuminating and 鈥渨riting back to鈥� the woman-as-nation trope. What I found most interesting was the exploration of political conflict through bodily landscape. Zahra鈥檚 skin condition worsens to reflect the deepening conflicting and inescapable violence. Further, food and feeding are used as expressions of inequality and despair. Not only does this lend itself to lively discussion or sizzling analysis, but helped to psychically connect me to the text.

With a careful attentiveness to Zahra鈥檚 relationships to autonomy and power, al-Shaykh masterfully crafts a rich and layered narrative challenging preexisting notions of confinement and liberation. I'm glad I read this book, and I know that I will be thinking about it for some time to come. Particularly for any feminist and gender scholars, this book is a must-read, and I recommend reading it along with a friend, because you will likely feel the need for in depth discussion.

While it's not difficult to admire and appreciate how radical this work's frank discussion of female infidelity, marital discontent and general sexuality must have been in the context of the Middle East in the mid-1980s, context alone does it make it any easier to connect to such a nonlinear and abstract work populated exclusively by flat, unrelatable characters. Purportedly, the book is influenced by the author's own life. While some great fiction comes from autobiographical elements, here these elements seem to make the work far too insular to appeal to a general audience.

Central character and occasional narrator Zahra has clearly been mistreated by the people in her life. She has been privy to her mother's adultery from too young an age, abused and insulted by her domineering father and left with few options after some misguided dalliances with a married man and subsequent pregnancies/abortions. She is also apparently unattractive with a pock-marked face and an unenviable figure. Certainly, this should make her a sympathetic character, and sometimes it does. She also suffers from profound mental illness (and possibly epilepsy--it's unclear) and is portrayed as a such a bizarre and nebulous character in both her own narrated chapters and those of others that it's nearly impossible as a reader to find any common ground with her. Her unhappiness is understandable, but none of her actions in the novel have any identifiable motivation. She begins and ends the novel making decisions and committing acts that are alien and inexplicable. I want to blame the translator; certainly this character has humanlike characteristics in her native language, but I'm not sure. Other characters are a bit more recognizably human, especially Zahra's exiled revolutionary uncle, her suffering first husband and her eventual sniper (maybe) lover. They're not necessarily dynamic or well rounded characters, but they're more relatable than Zahra.

Point of view is stream of consciousness, which works fairly well, but it's sometimes difficult to put together a chronology of events from Zahra's life amid the nonlinear plot. The end, which I won't reveal in too much detail here, is certainly the end, however. Much of the language is rich and descriptions are vivid. In a world with a less inscrutable central character, this could work very well. I realize that I'm a white, Western man raised in a predominately Christian culture, but I've read a lot of literature from other cultures, have traveled a lot of the world and briefly lived in the Middle East. I can't imagine its my past alone that keeps me from finding a way into this difficult work. I enjoyed short passages here and there, but mostly I found myself far to confused by Zahra and, frankly, sick of her to really get much out of this.

This novel comes from the pen of one of the Arab world's most acclaimed female writers, Hanan Al-Shaykh (1945- ). It traces the decline and tragic death of a Lebanese woman, Zahra, who is a victim, successively, of her mother's rather open infidelity (loosely based upon the novelist's own experience as recounted in her recent "The Locust and the Bird"), of men, of the horrific Lebanese War (1975-90), and of her own immaturity and distorted sense of sexuality. "The Story of Zahra" makes an important statement about the way women in places like Lebanon are so easily caught between two worlds and are encouraged or even compelled into relationships they don't want and don't even entirely understand. But this is a fairly common theme in modern literature deriving from strongly traditional societies, and the particular expression of this theme here is weakened by a sometimes unconvincing portrayal of Zahra's shifting mental states and of a rather thin and sometimes stereotyped portrayal of other characters in the novel. Nevertheless, the account of the confusion of the Lebanese War and of Zahra's brother's ill-thought-out involvement in that war is excellent, as is the chilling final pages of this novel, pages that end with a dying narrator.

The writing was beautiful in this book. I could sense it was written in Arabic, I recognized the language she used. It did not always fit in Dutch, so I was glad I knew what she meant in Arabic. The way the thoughts of Zahra were written was beautiful.

But.. I had a few issues with this novel. First of all I could not understand Zahra. I understand she had been through a lot, but at times I couldn't understand her motives for doing things. She would just make random decisions out of nowhere. Her thoughts were all over the place. At one point she was mental ill, but at an other point in the story she would function perfectly normal. And than there were these parts in the book narrated by men. These parts would just be in the middle of a chapter and would only make me more confused about Zahra.

This was painful. I know that it was designed to juxtapose the protagonist's mental state with the state of Lebanon during war, but it was still extremely painful, and I found myself hoping that Zahra would just die to end both of our misery during a good portion of the book.

This is the first time I found a book as disturbing as this one. Or maybe the main character, Zahra, was the disturbing one. The Story of Zahra used Lebanon (with its political unrest and constant war) as the background, and revolved around a girl called Zahra, whom at first, started with her mother used Zahra to cover her meetings with a lover behind her husband's back. The story escalated from there when Zahra then witnessed her father beating her mother and she herself started to be sexually abused (though probably, I don't think Zahra realised it was abuse). Zahra started to lose control of herself when she visited her uncle in Africa.

I personally think that Zahra suffered from major PTSD and depression, which the author portrayed them very vividly in Zahra's character. The story was good, but for me, it's quite jumbled. One memory overlapped with another. One story didn't finish but then another new one took it's place. The chapters were too long (Book One has 5 chapters and Book Two has none). I started to grow restless with the never ending plot in Book Two. What I can tell you is that this one is definitely not a leisure read.

A great recommendation from a coworker.

The Story of Zahra tells a very tragic tale of Zahra, growing up in Lebanon. Her life is the definition of tragedy, and honestly, the ending was kind of a relief for me.

I think the only thing stopping me from giving this book 4 stars is that I didn't love most of the characters. I felt sympathetic for Zahra, but I didn't really like her.

Interested to read other stories by this author!

Zahra, the protagonist, suffers from mental disorders. Some of it may be nature, but most of it is definitely from nurture. Her mother uses her to pretend that they're going on errands, while she goes to her sexual meetings. Her father beats the crap out of her all the time.
She's looking for the love that she's denied in her childhood, so when a man at her work takes her after work to have sex with her and use her, She goes along with it, not understanding why, just letting herself be used.
She doesn't know about birth control, so she gets pregnant. She wants to escape from the craziness of her home, so she goes to stay with her uncle in Egypt. But she's afraid of her uncle, afraid that he wants to get intimate with her, and so constantly locks herself in the bathroom.
A friend of her uncle wants to get married, so he zeros in on Zahra as an easy conquest.
To escape from the uncertainty of living with her uncle, she agrees to marry this man. But she can't stand him wanting to have sex with her, so she always locks herself in the bathroom.
Her whole life is just a repeat of this. It's a misery! It's only because it's a fiction, that saves me from being so sad for this character.
Some of the scenes in this book are so very strange. Here's one, after the protagonist's mother aborted twins:
"I remember the neighbors pouring into the bedroom to greet my mother, then peering into the soup dish where the tiny embryos swam. And then exclaiming, 'in the name of Allah, the all merciful. Blessed be the Creator. Look, here is a fully developed creature.' but one was more forthright and asked, 'why abortion after abortion?' another grew more outspoken still, and spat, swearing and shoving the dish aside 'I spit on the human being. Is this how we all are created - as minute as a fingernail becoming as huge as mules!' "
馃ぃ
Zahra's husband, for a short time, Majed, has a mother who is prejudiced against African women. She warned him not to get close to an African woman:
" ... And she packed my clothes, she kept on saying, " take care, majed, take care, my love. Avoid those African girls like the plague. They have their ways of entangling white people, and as soon as a Mensa comes, they get themselves pregnant. They'll stick like leeches and refuse an abortion. Once a child is born it will be yours, whether you like it or not. That's no problem if it's your own flesh and blood, but she probably slept with someone else 5 minutes before she came to you.' "
Being lebanese, he thinks Zahra will be the perfect wife, because she is also lebanese. Little does he know.

Zahra leaves her husband and Africa behind, and returns to her parent's house in beirut. But Beirut is in the middle of a civil war, and her parents, fearing the danger, return to their village in the mountains. Zahra and her brother Ahmed stay behind in the family home.
Zahra's brother has joined in the fighting, and returns home periodically with looted supplies that he hides under their mother's bed.
Zahra begins to have an affair with a sniper who stays on the roof of a nearby apartment house.
The ending is brutal.
This is a painful and triggering book.

These are personal opinions, not professional reviews, so I just want to ask what all the hype over this book is about. The protagonist, Zahra, is unselfish and completely weird. She never finds her footing, and I don't have sympathy for any of the characters in this novel. They are selfish and cruel. The second part, in war-torn Beirut, is the best part. I kept trying to read the woman as the embodiment of the state (in this case, the country of Lebanon), but I just couldn't get through all the selfishness and opportunism. Those overrode any literary merit of the book. I know why it's banned by several Muslim countries--the sex and the types of sex in this book are gross and unredemptive. If this is a thinly veiled portrait of Lebanon at war, then the author seems to be saying that Lebanon is as dysfunctional as the "mad" narrator and her family. I wish Lebanese writers would move on from the war. It will never make sense, so don't subject the reader to your attempts to come to terms with it. This one was a waste of time.

Wow-disturbing book. Very unexpected topic for an Arabic novel-I suppose that's why it was banned in so many Arab nations.
Zahra is one messed up girl. Set in Beirut, young Zahra witnessed her mother's adultery (she was often brought along on trysts), her father's abusive ways-it's no wonder she is so screwed up. As an adult she carried on an affair with a married man who impregnates her twice, leading to abortions. She escapes to Africa where her uncle may or may not be sexually attracted to her-she escapes him by marrying one of his friends. That was a disaster-she ends up in the hospital getting electr-shock treatment. She is literally crazy, lives a risky life, and she is a hard character to sympathize with. Not a pleasant book but important as a voice is given to a type of character never seen in Arabic literature.
