Jokha Alharthi Knihy
Jokha al-Harthi je súčasná ománska autorka, ktorej dielo sa hlboko ponára do spoločenských a kultúrnych premien svojej domoviny. Jej písanie často skúma zložitosť medziľudských vzťahov a ženské skúsenosti v konzervatívnom prostredí. Prostredníctvom bohatého jazyka a prenikavých postáv vytvára živé portréty života a tradícií v Ománe. Jej romány vynikajú jemnou psychologickou sondou a reflexiou sociálnych dynamík.
Broschiertes Buch Celestial Bodies is a coiled spring of a novel, telling of Oman's coming-of-age through the prism of one family's losses and loves.
The novel explores the profound bond between two Omani women, Ghazaala and Asiya, who are separated under tragic circumstances. As Ghazaala navigates adulthood, including a passionate but tumultuous marriage and motherhood, the haunting memory of Asiya lingers in her life. The narrative also introduces Harir, a university student who chronicles her evolving friendship with Ghazaala over a decade. Through their intertwined lives, the story delves into themes of love, loss, and the enduring impact of childhood connections.
