book
This book is a novel written by Djaili Amadou Amal. A brilliant writer from Cameroon, she writes in French. This is her first novel, translated into English. Story summary: In North Cameroon, young Ramla, raised in an affluent family, is torn from her true love and wed to a manipulative older man. Safira, her co-wife, juggles envy and empathy for this new bride while grappling with disappointment towards the husband she loves desperately. Like her elder sister Ramla, Hindou is married off to a man she does not know or want, a distant cousin whose instability and violence terrifies her. From an early age, these women were raised to submit to men or risk shame and repudiation for themselves and their families. They are advised to have munyal—patience.
