A Woman

About this book

Behind silence's walls.. tales told only in whispers. Have you ever wondered about the number of battles a woman fights behind a closed door? In this book we open the shut doors to slip into the worlds of women who crossed life's bridges barefoot, over embers of disappointment and thorns of absence. Here you find no mere stories, but shards of real souls; a woman battling the "schizophrenia" beast in a husband she loves, another whose years and savings a "human devil" steals under a guise of gentleness, and a third whom poverty threw on street pavements to find herself between the jaws of a "wolf" exploiting her need. Writer Jamila Allaoui skillfully moves between "the foxes' cunning" and "the walls of heedlessness," drawing with a sadly literary and at times inspiring brush the features of hidden pain invading faces and leaving furrows near eyelids. It is an invitation to a human journey into the depths of the human psyche, where the old markets' smell mingles with hot tears' bitterness, and where destiny confronts will in an eternal struggle. This work is no mere.
