I have not read any of Radwa Ashour's other books so I read this one and it was a revelation.

I feel very strongly it is a masterpiece and one of the greatest books of the 21st century and I feel bad for anyone who cannot read arabic, and the fact that radwa ashour's popularity is concentrated only in the middle east combined with the lack of translations means it is unlikely non-arabic spekers will be able to read this book in a long time.

Reading this book makes it clear she is one of the greatest arabic writers of all time and sits next to the likes of Mahmoud Darwish, Ghassan Kanafani, Tayeb Salih, and Naguib Mahfouz. What a fantastic read.
