The Tent is a powerful and beautifully written novel about a group of women whose lives are dominated by an often absent patriarch and his brutally abusive mother. Told through the eyes of a young girl, the lives of the Bedouin and peasant women unfold, revealing their private sufferings and the intolerable heaviness of their existence. Set against trackless deserts and star-filled night skies, the story provides an intimate glimpse inside the women's quarters, their pastimes and preoccupations, and their stories and songs.
