On one hand it can be seen as the suppression of women and their sexuality in a patriarchal society, and the heightened erotic reclaiming of their bodies (both as children and women). On the other hand, it's a way for the writer to get down as many different sexual words and permutations onto the page before someone finds out they've written a "smutty" book.[return][return]In the end I got bored, which is bad for such as short book. The chapters were often short, sometimes very lyrical and enjoyable, but in the end quite unengaging ( ) Récit d’une femme, celui de son initiation à la jouissance en terre d’Islam Mais les caresses sont porteuses de sens et mènent à l'amour (et inversement et réciproquement)... et la passion des corps est dangereusement proche de celle des cœurs Un livre dans lequel les fluides se mêlent aux sentiments dans une bouillonnante confusion The review of this book promised a look into the "erotic undercurrents of the Muslim world." Forgive me, but I doubt it. It was certainly erotic in many areas, but as to the realistic look at life in the Arab world, it is completely unbelievable. I am sure there have been women who lived the way the author described, but not very many. And frankly, it was a bore. Novela erótica narrada por una voz femenina. Típica del género, situada en el Magreb y con algunos elementos exóticos, es una historia desgraciada en el que la sexualidad femenina es primero controlada y reprimida y después, una vez ´liberada, continua siendo una fuente de dificultades que proporciona muy poca felicidad a la protagonista. Una novela menor dentro de un género muy limitado. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
An autobiographical erotic novel written by an observant Muslim woman in contemporary North Africa,The Almond is an extraordinary and pioneering literary work, a truly unforgettable journey into the sexual undercurrents of a world that is, outwardly and to Western eyes, puritanical. Badra is a young Muslim widow who flees the small town of Imchouk to take refuge with her Uncle Slimane's iconoclastic ex-wife. In Imchouk, it was expected that Badra's life should be limited by her husband's wishes, but at Aunt Selma's, Badra begins to think about how she wants to live from now on. She recalls her youthful curiosity about sex -- what other girls' and women's bodies were like, her first attempts to spy on men, her fascination with the two beautiful prostitute sisters wholived outside Imchouk. When she develops a passionate, consuming relationship with a wealthy doctor, Badra remembers and rediscovers her own sexual being, in scenes that are erotic, revelatory, and sometimes bittersweet. C. Jane Hunter's translation gives us a book of great power that resembles a MuslimVagina Monologues.The Almond is an inspiring and illuminating novel that reminds us of the transformative power of desire and pleasure.
