Women from Wadi Al-Nawm, author: Jaloul Qasemi

The events revolve around a mining city similar to Jarda located in eastern Morocco where the death of the great mother "the family matriarch" is considered the beginning of a series of indicators, actions, and events, led by the city's transformation after the closure of the mines with the economic and social changes that followed, and the collapse of values and balances within the city where the mine was the nerve of life. The novel opens the space for voices from the distant past to express the fates and transformations of places. The novel works with a poetic narrative vocabulary, favoring memory, introspection, and monologue, through the process of testimony and defiant confession. Number of pages: 250
