About this product
Product Information
This explosive, controversial and moving short novel - winner of France's prestigious Goncourt Prize - is a compelling look behind the veil that confronts taboos of female oppression and sexuality A young woman prays at her husband's bedside as he lies in a coma with a bullet in his neck. From outside come the sounds of tanks, gunshots, screaming and, most terrifying of all, silence. Inside, her two frightened daughters call to her from the hallway.As she tries to keep her husband alive, the woman rages against men, war, culture, God. Even as her mind appears to unravel, she becomes intensely clear-sighted. Now is her chance - her first ever - to speak without being censored. Her husband's body reminds her of the legend of the patience stone, a stone that hears all confessions until it explodes, and finally, spurred to new heights of daring, she spills out her most explosive secret.

Through no fault of the seller, the book didn't arrive. The envelope it was supposed to be in did, but no book, alas. The seller was very kind and investigated at their end while I investigated at mine, but no book was to be found anywhere. A mystery!
Anyway, they promptly refunded the purchase price and I will support them again if another book of interest appears in their store. Would 100% recommend purely because of their kindness and understanding. Thank you.
