À propos de cet audio
In the village of al-Awafi in Oman, we encounter three sisters: Mayya, who marries Abdallah after a heartbreak; Asma, who marries from a sense of duty; and Khawla, who rejects all offers while waiting for her beloved, who has emigrated to Canada. These three women and their families witness Oman evolve from a traditional, slave-owning society slowly redefining itself after the colonial era to the crossroads of its complex present.
Elegantly structured and taut, Celestial Bodies is a coiled spring of a novel, telling of Oman's coming of age through the prism of one family's losses and loves.

Pretty good
I won’t say great, because I lost the thread of this book while listening to it. I wasn’t easily able to distinguish when the narrator was speaking as a woman or a man, so I managed to get confused at points (thinking I was listening to a female character, only to realize it was a man). I finally stopped trying to follow the plot and just listened for the essence of the story, how women live in this Middle East country, how they are suppressed, and the ways in which they find or create freedom, if only in their minds. Might be better read as a physical book.
