Women of Sand and Myrrh
In an unnamed Middle Eastern city, four women from different social and cultural backgrounds tell their story. There is Suha, an educated Lebanese woman brought to the desert by her husband; Tamr, who must fight against male rule to educate herself; Suzanne, captivated by the men and the mystery of the Arabian desert; and Nur, in fierce pursuit of lovers (male and female) and foreign adventures - but her husband has her passport. All four women struggle in a society where women cannot drive a car, walk in the streets unveiled, or travel without male permission. It is a society where sex, due to its constraints, becomes an obsession. These women are treated to every luxury except that which they truly desire - freedom.
The Locust and the Bird
In a masterly act of literary transformation, celebrated novelist Hanan al-Shaykh re-creates the dramatic life and times of her mother, Kamila.

As the narrative unfolds through the years—from the bazaars, cinemas and apartments of 1930s Beirut to its war-torn streets decades later—we follow this passionate woman as she survives the tragedies and celebrates the triumphs of a life lived to the very fullest.

Hanan
As penance for a liaison with 'Adil Tannous, a Copt of her village, Hanan Bayt al-Mal is sent to live with relatives in Cairo. There, against the background of the first days of the Sadat regime, she finds work organizing the library of Benedict Risk, an enigmatic academic with whom she shares an enthusiasm for the works of Jurji Zaydan, the father of the Arab historical novel. Thus begins Hanan's strange relationship with two men: the one who, from beyond the grave, becomes the voice of her imagination and conscience, the other who prepares her for a future in scholarship and is the object of her unrequited affection. Summoned one day to the Ministry of Interior by Captain Laith Messa'ud to explain an irregularity in her declaration of residency, she is threatened with prison if she refuses to spy on Risk, whom the Egyptian authorities suspect of being an American agent. Insinuating himself into the narrow space between Hanan's mind and heart, Laith sets in motion a series of events that dogs her progress toward a promising career and the coming to terms with her youthful indiscretion.

Mosaik
"Mosaik" handler om den dansk-afghanske kvinde Dunya, der er på vej mod de 30. Hun kæmper med at finde balancen mellem de to kulturer, hun har været præget af i sin opvækst, og med at forstå sine forældre, som hun spejler sig i. Vi følger hendes kærlighedsliv og forestillinger om, hvad en kærlighedsrelation skal handle om, når man dater på dansk, men forelsker sig på afghansk. Dunya har altid set op til sin far, som forlod familien, da hun var barn. Når hun har spurgt sin mor om forældrenes fortid og flugten fra Afghanistan, er hun blevet mødt med et nedslået blik. Nu har Dunya uddannet sig til lærer og ønsker at gøre en forskel for børn med minoritetsbaggrund, ligesom h...
