A House Without Windows
En rupture d'inventaire
For most of her life Zeba has lived quietly in an Afghan village, a loyal wife and loving mother. But on one horrific day, her family's world is shattered when her husband, Kamal, is found brutally murdered with a hatchet in the countryard of their home. Covered in Kamal's blood and catatonic with shock, Zeba refuses to explain what happened. Barely escaping a vengeful mob, she is sent to Kabul's Chil Mahtab, a women's prison. As Zeba awaits trial, she befriends other woman whose own misfortunes have led them to these bleak cells : Nafisa, imprisoned to protect her from an honor killing ; Latifa, a runaway who stays in the jail because it is a safe haven ; and Meghan, pregnant and unmarried, jailed for zina, or «love crimes». The women whisper among themselves : Is Zeba really a cold-blooded killer ? Has she truly inherited her mother's powers of jadu - witchcraft - which can bend fate to her will ? Can she save herself ? Or them ? Into the closed world comes Yusuf, Zeba's Afhgan-born, American-raised lawyer, whose desire to help his homeland has brought him back. With the fate of this seemigly ordinary housewife in his hands, Yusuf discovers that, like Afghanistan itself, his client may not be at all what he imagines.
