Carried by Love: When Life Turned into Tales

Caught between a violent home and the political upheaval of 1990s Tunisia. Between an intellectual left swallowed by Ben Ali's prisons and the female rebellion burning in Zohra's soul. Stories catching fire in bars, cafés, nightclubs, and police stations. Stories rising out of poor neighborhoods, out of poverty, trouble, and sewers spilling over. Stories rising out of the old city's alleyways, rich with history and the glory of those who once lived there. Stories rising out of airports that carried Zohra from one place to the next until she found herself, at last, in the space between, where life neither rooted her here nor let her fully take root there. Zohra tells what she can of a life scattered across Djerba, Tunis, Malta, and Munich.
