She lay on her back, closed her eyes, and surrendered to him in a silent scene similar to the scene of slaughtering and skinning a sheep.
He came closer... and moved away a little... then he attacked her again... the more...
Savor her beauty, the more he comes back for more.
Not a single tear fell from her eyes.. Everything froze in her.. The heat that was transferred to her from the Sultan's body was enough to melt her senses.. But the coldness that spread through every cell of her body,
It came from her sad heart.
***
Four women, in four different generations, during four different times, each carrying the genes of those before her, and walking on her own path in search of freedom, starting with the Mamluk sultans, through the transformations of the 1970s, and arriving at the changes in Egyptian society in early 2011.
It is a novel worth reading; Because it sets a soft history for women's freedom, and at the same time frees its history from a stereotypical image that quickly turns into a "trash" of self-flagellation.
