Résumé
|
|
Nahr has been confined to the Cube : nine square metres of cinderblock, devoid of time. Journalists visit her, but get nowhere ; because Nahr is not going to share her story with them. Many in the world call Nahr a terrorist or a whore ; and just as many call her a revolutionary, or a hero. But the truth is more complicated than that. She was named for the river her pregnant mother crossed when she fled Israel's invasion of her home in Palestine. For a time she was Almas, a girl who went to late-night parties in Kuwait with powerful men. She was a girl who learned, early and painfully, that when you are a refugee, love is a kind of desperation. She was a woman who went to Palestine in the wrong shoes, and found there what she had always lacked in a battered beauty parlour : books, friends, politics - and a fighter named Bilal. Nahr sits in the Cube, and tells her story, and Bilal's. Bilal, who may not even be alive, but who is her only reason to get out.
