Three generations of Palestinian-American women living in Brooklyn are torn between individual desire and the strict mores of Arab culture in this heart-wrenching story of love, intrigue and courage. Set in an America at once foreign to many and staggeringly close at hand, A Woman Is No Man is a story of culture and honour, secrets and betrayals, love and violence. It is an intimate glimpse into a controlling and closed cultural world and a universal tale about family and the ways silence and shame can destroy those we have sworn to protect. 

Newly revised and updated, this landmark anthology offers gripping portraits of American life as seen through the eyes of young women of color It has been decades since women of color first turned feminism upside down, exposing the feminist movement as exclusive, white, and unaware of the...

Ariane Ascaride et Roland Giraud relèvent un défi bien plus compliqué qu'il n'y paraît dans cette interprétation : ils font apparaître l'au-delà du conte, ils révèlent la profondeur de cette prose. La finesse avec laquelle ils s'emparent de la dimension orale des "Lettres de mon moulin" n'en fait que mieux ressortir le travail stylistique et rythmique de Daudet, qui sort pleinement accompli de cet enregistrement." Claude Colombini & Benjamin Goldenstein

Par l'habile procédé de la correspondance, Daudet dresse dans ces "Lettres" le tableau d'une terre luxuriante, source d'intarissables émerveillements pour une âme de poète.
