Safira, her co-wife, juggles envy and empathy for this new bride with disappointment in the husband she desperately loves. Like her older sister, Ramla, Hindou is married off to a man she does not know or want, a distant cousin whose instability and violence terrifies her. From an early age, these women were raised to submit to men, or risk shame and repudiation of themselves and their families. They are advised to have munyal, patience. They are told that their fates are the will of the All-Powerful, and that it is unthinkable, or rather, impossible, to defy tradition. They are reminded of the Fulani proverb which holds, "At the end of patience, there is the sky."Yet Ramla, Safira, and Hindou are tired of waiting for a happiness that may never come. Their lives are driven by impatience and clouded by the suffering rooted in forced marriage and physical abuse, but it is this oppressive culture that binds them together. In a society that demands female obedience, how will these three impatient women free themselves? 541 $d 20221109. 650 $a Cameroonians $v Fiction. 650 $a Abused wives $v Fiction. 650 $a Arranged marriage $v Fiction. 655 4 $a Women's fiction. 700 $a Femi, Liz. 700 $a Ramadan, Emma, $e translator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20221124010046.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA83D2026BC511EDB577093D34ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
