Description for Hurma
Paperback. A daring and original novel, this acerbic satire pulls no punches in its depiction of male chauvinism and religious bigotry, as told through the tragicomic tale of its young female protagonist, Hurma. Num Pages: 160 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 200 x 130 x 15. Weight in Grams: 160.
Denied her voice, even the freedom to ask questions, Ali al-Muqri's ill-fated heroine remains nameless. As a female she is simply a Hurma --literally sanctity, an entity to be protected from violation. A unique perspective of the issues and lives of women under strict Islamic law.
