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.

But this book (like The Patience Stone) is written by a male author purporting to be a woman under the veil. Written in a culture that oppresses women, this novella gives a voice to the silent and the invisible. Yes, it would be better if there were a flourishing Yemeni publishing industry that brought us both male and female authors who could write freely about taboo subjects, but from what I’ve been able to glean from Wikipedia, Ali Al-Muqri is lionised in the west because he has the courage to tackle taboos like sex, religion and war. So… while I wait for translations from the emerging women’s writing industry in Yemen, I’m reading Hurma…
