'Asharat nisaa' offers a kaleidoscopic look at the contemporary troubles of women, exploring themes ranging from old age to lesbianism and classic problems with roles: as daughters, mothers and wives. The novel is based on the author's conviction that wounds can be healed through sharing and working together.Text in Arabic. Nine disparate women, unknown to each other, are brought together by a tenth, a therapist, to share their stories. Regardless of their social standing, age, or profession, each woman is burdened by fear, insecurity, and loneliness. Some face a past they cannot leave behind; others, a present that is untenable, or a future that looms ominously. They find peace in one another and discover that courage overcomes all.
