Hanan Al-Shaykh reads in the lines of society the tragedy of the female, brimming with barbaric male tyranny, sadistic in its origin and end. Zahra is a symbol of every female, a flower who experiences her share of pain, oppression, and absurdity in all its forms from a patriarchal society in which men are entitled to whatever they wish. Hannan writes about a war Zahra experienced during the Lebanese Civil War, a tragedy that surpassed the tragedy of the actual war. Her journey from Africa to Lebanon, from south to south, from Beirut to Beirut, from party to party, from the keyhole to the shadows of rooms, to the end of the tunnel, is the story of a woman in a so-called civilized society.
