by Lynda Chouiten (Author), Skyler Artes (Translator), Mildred Mortimer (Afterword by)
A prize-winning novel from one of Algeria's rising literary stars. In A Waltz, Lynda Chouiten depicts an irreverent and creative woman with an artistic temperament navigating the stiflingly conservative society in which she was raised. The narrative follows the path of Chahira, a seamstress from El Moudja--a fictional small coastal town in the Kabyle region of Algeria--to an international design competition in Vienna. Along the way, A Waltz expresses the strain of competing value systems, regional identities and expectations, and a cacophony of voices bearing down upon one woman while asking challenging questions about the nature of madness, confinement, and resistance to a patriarchal world.
