A Crime Against Honor is not just a novel, but a deep journey into the paths of the contradictory human soul, and a window overlooking a city contested by souls and memories of different colors and shapes. This novel wraps daily and marginal issues under the roof of a society carrying within its folds poverty and wealth, past and present, reason and heart. It is an invitation to contemplate the struggle of opposites, where the worlds of men and women collide and the concepts of pardon and revenge, good and evil, wrestle—proving that love and peace can prevail even after a while. With an authentic Algerian spirit and an Arab heart beating with humanity, the novel's events flow from realistic references. It is a story whose events recall one another through narratives rich in meanings and encoded messages—messages dictated by the worries running in the vein of circumstances clouding our Arab skies. Its chapters move between houses, schools, cafes, and markets, touching what man faces in the different journeys of life. It is not a tale to be told, but a trial of the present age laden with a real history narrated by the storyteller.
