Synopsis: Centering women in political resistance, this novel follows a robust cast of women in a rural Algerian town who find themselves joined in solidarity as they empower one another to engage in the fight for independence. Narrating the resistance movement across a variety of perspectives—from traditional wives to liberated students to political organizers—Djebar powerfully depicts the circumstances that drive oppressed communities to violence while she movingly reveals the tragic costs of war. This book was written following the author’s own involvement in the Algerian resistance to colonial French rule, making it both intensely personal and deeply resonant.
