About this listen

Trois femmes, trois histoires, trois destins liés. Ce roman polyphonique retrace le destin de la jeune Ramla, arrachée à son amour pour être mariée à l'époux de Safira, tandis que Hindou, sa sœur, est contrainte d'épouser son cousin. Patience ! C'est le seul et unique conseil qui leur est donné par leur entourage, puisqu'il est impensable d'aller contre la volonté d'Allah. Comme le dit le proverbe peul : "Au bout de la patience, il y a le ciel." Mais le ciel peut devenir un enfer. Comment ces trois femmes impatientes parviendront-elles à se libérer ?

Mariage forcé, viol conjugal, consensus et polygamie : ce roman de Djaïli Amadou Amal brise les tabous en dénonçant la condition féminine au Sahel et nous livre un roman bouleversant sur la question universelle des violences faites aux femmes.

Es una novela apasionante! Felicitaciones a la escritora! Me encantó la obra!

Es una novela apasionante! Basada en hechos reales. Su lectura permite al lector conocer al lector parte de la cultura y costumbres de los países en que se profesa la religión musulmana. Felicitaciones a la escritora, es brillante!
