by Ali Al-Muqri (Author), Thomas Aplin (Translator)
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.
