Description
In Praise of Hatred by Khālid Khalīfah and Khaled Khalifa is a powerful and sensual story set in 1980s Syria. Behind the veil of her grandparents' vast house, a young woman grows up surrounded by three aunts who guide her with the aid of their devoted blind servant. As social and political changes outside the family home intensify, she becomes increasingly fundamentalist, fueled by hatred for those who oppress her. This stirring tale echoes the modern-day tragedy unfolding in the Middle East, as it explores the complexities of identity, faith, and country. With elegant use of traditional storytelling, In Praise of Hatred is a thought-provoking exploration of one woman's journey towards self-discovery and her fight for her future.
