| Description | At the centre of Yegana Dzhabbarova’s book is the body of a young woman. Its existence is governed by the strict rules of a patriarchal Azerbaijani family and community. It is also subject to a neurological illness that causes severe pain and takes away speech. Turning to each part of the body with a researcher’s precision, the writer brings up layers of memory and inherited practice. She also examines prohibitions and prescriptions, connecting them with the most personal and inescapable thing a person has, the physical body. Could illness, after all that it restricts and takes away, also offer a key to liberation?
The stories of women over several generations give the book its wider frame. Belonging is inseparable from estrangement, and survival grows out of refusal to submit. Dzhabbarova writes about an inheritance one never chose, and about the question of how to live with it. |
