Description
Three classic novels by renowned feminist writer and activist Nawal El Saadawi.
A peasant family is torn apart by a village mayor and his lackeys in God Dies by the Nile, Saadawi's dark parable of poverty, female exploitation, injustice and religious hypocrisy in rural Egypt.
In Searching the disappearance of her lover causes Fouda to question everything.
Circling Song is a hypnotic meditation on gender, class and state violence told through the story of two mysterious twins.

Reviews
-
Nawal El Saadawi is a legend in her own time. This is an ambitious work indeed
Praise for The Circling Song, American Book Review
-
This novel is a powerful example of the kind of anger and desperation to which Arab women writers are beginning to give vent
Praise for The Circling Song, Choice
-
Nawal El Saadawi's technique is impressive: at once precise, controlled and hypnotic, even in translation. The style and meaning of the book are one. A song with no beginning and no end, the author tells its universal story
Praise for The Circling Song, Everywoman

The most influential feminist thinker in the Arab world over the past half-century
Financial Times
-
Nawal El Saadawi writes with directness and passion
