Nos jours aveugles

Rate this book
Nadia Chafik, qui a déjà publié trois romans, livre ici son premier recueil de nouvelles. Chacune d'entre elles nous plonge dans un univers différent. En douze histoires, dont la plupart se déroulent au Maroc, Nadia Chafik conte la vie d'hommes et de femmes au destin singulier, un destin qui les tient souvent prisonniers. En arrière-plan, c'est aussi la place peu enviable de la femme dans la société marocaine, le poids des croyances antéislamiques et des superstitions qu'elle évoque.
