Sara is a philosophy professor at Kuwait University. Her
relationship with Kuwait is complicated; it is a country she
recognises less and less. Yet since her return from the States
eleven years earlier, a certain inertia has kept her there. When
she is accused of blasphemy, which carries with it the threat of
execution, Sara realises she must reconcile her feelings and her
place in the world once and for all. Awaiting trial, Sara retraces
the past, intent on examining the lives of the women who made her.
She conjures forth her grandmothers - beautiful and stubborn
Yasmine, who marries the son of the Pasha of Basra and lives to
regret it, and Lulwa, born poor in Kuwait and later swept off to
India by her wealthy merchant husband. An Unlasting Home brings to
life the triumphs and failures of three generations of Arab women.
At once intimate and sweeping, personal and political, it is an
unforgettable family portrait and a spellbinding epic tale.
