Legs and arms shaved, hands dyed with henna, a girl to be married must shine like a mirror. Every girl hopes to be the chosen one and ride off on a donkey to live in the city. The desert is the domain of men; they believe they see oases and palm trees sagging with fruit, while women see only sand on top of sand. A rapid look-around at the girls in the circle was enough for the traveling rabbi to find the right one. He chooses Yudah because of her name, a contraction of Yahuda, and because she lowered her eyes when he looked at her. Instead of experiencing her dream of being chosen and riding off on a donkey to live in a palace, she finds herself in an encampment of tents swaying in the wind. She also doesn't find the Emir, who is battling on other fronts and soon surrenders. Yudah and the rest of his followers are exiled to Ile Sainte-Marguerite, where she pursues a tireless quest for her future husband in France, seeking a man she has never seen."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "First published in French as La fianceÌe eÌtait aÌ dos d'aÌne, EÌditions Mercure de France, 2013"--Title page verso. 500 $a Translated from the French. 600 00 $a Ê»Abd al-QaÌdir ibn MuhÌ£yiÌ al-DiÌn, $c Amir of Mascara, $d 1807?-1883 $x Relations with women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish women $z Algeria $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Voyages and travels $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Autonomy (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Sainte-Marie-de-Madagascar Island (Madagascar) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Algeria $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Fagan, Teresa Lavender, $e translator. 830 0 $a French list 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217012157.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5A9540A0CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
