Summary

Trois femmes, trois histoires, trois destins liés. Ce roman polyphonique retrace le destin de la jeune Ramla, arrachée à son amour pour être mariée à l'époux de Safira, tandis que Hindou, sa sœur, est contrainte d'épouser son cousin. Patience ! C'est le seul et unique conseil qui leur est donné par leur entourage, puisqu'il est impensable d'aller contre la volonté d'Allah. Comme le dit le proverbe peul : "Au bout de la patience, il y a le ciel." Mais le ciel peut devenir un enfer. Comment ces trois femmes impatientes parviendront-elles à se libérer ?

Mariage forcé, viol conjugal, consensus et polygamie : ce roman de Djaïli Amadou Amal brise les tabous en dénonçant la condition féminine au Sahel et nous livre un roman bouleversant sur la question universelle des violences faites aux femmes.
