صمت التوت (Arabic Edition) - Tapa blanda

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Silence of Mulberries is an Arabic short story collection by Egyptian writer Samar Salem ¿ a tender, searing portrait of womanhood across generations. Woven together through the scent of mulberry jam, the weight of long-held silences, and the quiet revolutions of everyday life, these stories give voice to women who have spent lifetimes biting their tongues and carrying more than their share. Each story peels back a different layer of women's hidden worlds: a woman who hasn't touched mulberries for years, because their taste is bound to a childhood friend married off before she could finish growing up. Four young girls who set off on a ferry at dawn with dreams of earning enough for school books and a mother's velvet dress ¿ dreams the river swallows whole. A woman who spent forty years believing her grandmother's well-meaning lie that beauty is a curse, only to realize she had been the one slowly falling out of the ledger of life. A woman who unlocks a room she kept sealed for fifty years, finding inside not just a trousseau but the girl she abandoned in order to care for everyone else. There is also the silenced wife who finally walks out the door with her two daughters; the retired schoolteacher who sheds her rigid dignity for a Zumba class and rediscovers her laugh; and two elderly lovers reuniting in a crumbling café to the sound of Mary Hopkin, understanding that the love they had at twenty has only grown quieter and more honest with age. Salem writes with the precision of a poet and the warmth of a storyteller ¿ rooted in Egyptian rural life, but speaking to something universal about the cost of silence, the power of small acts of courage, and what it means for a woman to finally come home to herself. A debut collection for readers who believe the most important stories are often the ones never spoken aloud. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9789777785389
