DESCRIPTION - By bringing so vividly to life the stifling atmosphere of a wealthy, tradition-ridden Moslem family in Algeria, Gabrielle Estivals makes understandable the story of a girl, Zoubeida, who would risk everything to lead a full, unfettered life. The world of emerging new nations is full of such spirited young women, desperate to break out of the prison of their heritage. To grasp fully the extent of their hunger for freedom, one must first realize how formidable the walls are that bind them. For Zoubeida the worst of the obstacles lie not in the world outside but within the family itself. Her gentle father is progressive enough to send her to a French lycEe, but her intractable older brother is outraged at any breach of tradition. The story of Zoubeida's struggle in a time when Algeria's background is so little understood might have been made melodramatic or shallowly sentimental. Instead, Gabrielle Estivals has infused it with such reality and such haunting revelations that Zoubeida and her family become a part of our experience, and we see in human terms many of the motivating forces in Algeria's urge for independence. Most of all, however, Zoubeida's story is one of those rare narratives in which the reader becomes personally involved - a novel of deep perception, conflicts, and compassion. inventory #14510 Previous Owner's Bookplate in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. …
