Trois Femmes Puissantes

About “Trois Femmes Puissantes”

Three stories, three women who say no. They are named Norah, Fanta, and Khady Demba. Each fights to protect her dignity against the humiliations life imposes on her with persistent and puzzling determination. Marie NDiaye's art is evident in the uniqueness and mystery of these stories. Her writing's strength lies in its apparent gentleness, in the slow, winding passages that draw the reader beneath the surface of an elegant and refined prose, into the complexities of a consciousness exposed to the raw power of emotions. - Publisher.
