A line of red-haired women united by the ties of blood that runs through their veins--which violence has spread through the ages--each with a deep story and all with one thing in common: unwavering power and resilience in the face of adversities of being a woman in a war-torn region. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the perfect mastery of finely chiseled writing, Joumana Haddad manages to construct a novel of extraordinary intensity, without ever sinking into pathos or grandiloquence. She also challenges the systematic abuse of political and religious power and authority that continues to cloud the lives of a culturally diverse and progressive youth until the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Interlink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623717094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Joumana Haddad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43049636724917,"sku":"9781623717094","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_67395521-e583-4263-97c9-f14056bcde1e.jpg?v=1689692068","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-book-of-queens-9781623717094","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
