One of my all time favorites

This is an amazingly strong, moving novel written by a woman who has been exiled from her country because of the glimpses she provides through her writing of women's lives in Arabic society. Two women in One is a haunting work of the choices one woman makes and her struggle to find agency under the power of people who would deny her this, and herself.
