(2) 4-6 Translated by Catherine Temerson. In Libya in the late nineteenth century, eleven-year-old Malika longs to experience life beyond the rooftop confines of women. Her mother is cautious and obedient, but her father's other wife risks being disowned to shelter an injured young man preaching Muslim fundamentalism, who then teaches Malika to read. This French import tells an engaging story of changing visions of people and places.
