Jarkko Tontti -podcastin vieraana kirjailija Sara Al Husaini.

Irakilaistaustainen Al Husaini tunnetaan kunniaväkivaltaa ja pakkoavioliittoa käsittelevästä omaelämäkerrallisesta romaanistaan Huono tyttö (2023). Hän on myös islamin jättänyt entinen muslimi.

Mitä tapahtuu, kun musliminainen hylkää uskontonsa? Katkeavatko ystävyys- ja perhesuhteet? Entä kuinka yleisiä ovat pakkoavioliitot, jollaiseen Al

Hänet on ylennetty kauppalaivan kapteeniksi ja kaunis Mercedes rakastaa häntä sydämensä pohjasta.

Aikanaan hyvin tunnetun kirjailijan elämäkerrallisen sarjan viimeinen teos (alunperin ruotsiksi Början, 1979) päätyi käsiini täysin sattumalta. Aloin vain lukea. Huomasin pitäväni Collianderin kielestä ja tyylistä, mutta aihepiiri on melko etäinen. U ...more
