“Every morning reaffirms for me that, despite everything, there is something in this life worth living for.”

How can a single novel hold all that Radwa Ashour encapsulated in The Woman from Tantoura, making a woman who never completed her education carry a homeland and run with it, guarding it with memories and the journal she writes after her son, Hassan, urges her to. Perhaps it was the challenges she lived through and their difficulty that created within her a writer capable of reviving history with its stories, its details, and all that it holds, so we never forget and so we love this homeland more than we can bear, yet less than it deserves.

Thus, we invite you to join the Jesuit Book Club on Wednesday, November 20, to discuss The Woman from Tantoura and share thoughts together.
