Tripoli in the 1960s. A sweltering, segregated society. Hadachinou
is a lonely boy. His mother shares secrets with her best friend
Jamila while his father prays at the mosque. Sneaking through the
sun-drenched streets of Tripoli, he listens to the whispered
stories of the women. He turns into an invisible witness to their
repressed desires while becoming aware of his own. ------ Why
Peirene chose to publish this book: 'This is a fascinating portrait
of a closed society. On the surface this quiet vignette of a story
could be read as gently nostalgic, but underneath the author
reveals the seething tensions of a traditional city coming to terms
with our modern world. The book gives us privileged access to a
place where men and women live apart and have never learned to
respect each other.' Meike Ziervogel, Publisher
