The Tongue's Blood Does Not Run Dry: Algerian Stories by Assia Djebar

5.0

Sublime, wrenching and sometimes tragic stories of women navigating Algeria's changing cultural landscape in the mid-1990s written by a master. Excellent translation from the French.

I picked this up at the Strand during Book Riot Live last year, having previously enjoyed Children of the New World - to my surprise the copy is signed by Djebar (who unfortunately passed away a few years ago).
