Memory in the Flesh by Ahlam Mosteghanemi
Memory in the Flesh, the first novel written by an Algerian woman to become a bestseller in Arabic, centres on Algeria's struggle against foreign domination, capturing four decades of that nation's tumultuous history. This award-winning novel is told in the narrative voice of Khaled, a former revolutionary and painter who has lost his left arm in the struggle against France, and centres upon his love affair with the novelist Hayat, a woman many years his junior and the daughter of his former commander.
* I thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully written book- Naguib Mahfouz * With a sublime emotional intensity, Mosteghanemi injects the reader into the mind, heart and soul of her characters, shedding new light on the meaning of yearning, nostalgia and the pain of a disembodied spirit. - Egypt Today
Ahlam Mosteghanemi received her B.A. in Arabic literature from the University of Algiers in 1973, and was awarded a doctorate in sociology from the Sorbonne in 1982. She is the author of two volumes of poetry and two other novels, Chaos of the Senses and Crossing Beds.
