Book Description
This is a mystery story book which exposed the sufferings of young girls under customary precepts linked to religion belief. Tears of Fatima emanated from Rub' al Khali desert of Saudi Arabia; where the Bedouin tribe has mastered the strategy of survival. Rub' al Khali deserts is one of the most inhabitable deserts in the world because of its scant rainfall and extremely hot weather condition. Fatima was a young Bedouin girl who at the age of 9 learned the art of shepherd. She fought against the prejudice of traditional beliefs and religion restrictions to find a purpose for her life. Despite the constraints of her religion and the perilous consequences she faced, Fatima endured hardship and risked her life to save a dying teenager in the unforgiving desert of Saudi Arabia while looking after the goats and sheep of her parents at the age of 13 years. The teenager she saved from death later became a center piece in her life as she matured into adulthood. Fatima survived various challenges including kidnapping by desert raiders and unwanted marital affairs. She suffered various nightmares and mild psychiatric disorder due to the overwhelming effect of her life challenges. Her tenacity finally gave way to her reunification with Moussa after her unwanted marriage to Abdul-Kareem. Narrowly, Fatima escaped death sentence carried out under the Sharia Law through the intervention of Moussa whom she once saved from death. Eventually Fatima Married the man she loved at a more matured age. She later acquired education which has been her childhood dreams. Moussa and Fatima later migrated from the dry desert of Rub' al Khali to the oasis desert of Yemen after their wedding; where they settled with Al-Hassan. The encounter of two European missionaries – Andrew and Nelson transformed the lives of Fatima and Moussa considerably as it engages in a comparative religions analysis. That encounter later converted their faith and unexpectedly assisted their journey to Scotland.

These Letters End in Tears
Author: Musih Tedji Xaviere
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1646221877
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Set in a country where being gay is punishable by law, These Letters End in Tears is the heart-wrenching forbidden love story of a Christian girl with a rebellious heart and a Muslim girl leading a double life Bessem notices Fatima for the first time on the soccer field—muscular and focused, she’s the only woman playing and seems completely at ease. When Fatima chases a rogue ball in her direction, Bessem freezes, mesmerized by the athlete’s charm and beauty. One playful wink from Fatima, and Bessem knows her life will never be the same. In Cameroon, a country where same-sex relationships are punishable by law, the odds are stacked against Bessem and Fatima from the start. And when Fatima’s older brother, a staunch Muslim, finds out about their affair, he intervenes by physically assaulting them, an incident that precedes a police raid at the only gay bar in town. After spending days in jail, Fatima goes missing without a trace, and Bessem is left with only rumors of her whereabouts. Has Fatima been sentenced to an unknown prison? Has she been banished from her community, or married off, as some have suggested? Or something even more sinister? Thirteen years later, Bessem is now a university professor leading a relatively quiet life, occasionally and secretly dating other women. However, she has never forgotten Fatima. After spotting a mutual friend for the first time in years—the last person who may have seen Fatima—Bessem embarks on a winding search for her lost love.

In Search of Fatima
Author: Ghada Karmi
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1789604826
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
"One of the finest, most eloquent and painfully honest memoirs of the Palestinian exile and displacement." –New Statesman An intimate memoir of the 1948 Nakba, exile and the dispossession of Palestinian lands In Search of Fatima reflects the author’s personal experiences of displacement and loss against a backdrop of the major political events which have shaped conflict in the Middle East. Kharmi was born in Jerusalem but her family were forced out in 1948, following the Nakba, when Palestinians were dispossessed of their lands at the hands of the Israeli state. In this moving account of exile, she charts her family's displacement to Jordan, and finally to Golders Green, London, where she initially refused to lay down roots in alien soil. Through this journey, Kharmi charts the personal account of a young woman's search for identity: as a Palestinian far away from home. Speaking for the millions of displaced people worldwide who have lived suspended between their old and new countries, fitting into neither, this is a nuanced exploration of psychological displacement and loss of identity.
