The narrative centers on a tragic December night in 1935 that shattered the life of Zubaida ar-Rassa‛, the young wife of Mohsen en-Neifer. Accused of a clandestine affair with Taher al-Haddad, who is a real-life intellectual and champion of women’s rights, Zubaida is condemned to a lifetime of unhappiness, leaving a void filled only by suspicion and silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe mystery of that night is pieced together through the first-person accounts of eleven different narrators from both families, spanning from the 1940s to the present day. This \"Chinese box\" structure forces the reader to navigate a complex web of secrets, regrets, and conflicting memories to reconstruct the truth. As individual lives clash with the broader History of the country, the reader acts as a detective, assembling the fragments of the past to finally uncover what truly happened to Zubaida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Amira Ghenim (أَمِيرَة غَنِيم)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eBorn in 1978 in Tunisia, Amira Ghenim is a writer and a professor of Linguistics and Translation at the University of Tunis.
