Story
Death and inheritance in a patriarchy: a dense, tightly-told story from Jordan of a widow fighting for her existence. The sudden death of her husband hits Nawal hard. She now lives with her daughter in a modest apartment in Amman and has a hard time bringing home enough to live on. Her brother-in-law is at first understanding of her situation, but the friendly façade soon breaks down in the face of the reality of Jordanian legislation. Nawal has to assert herself within the complex family dynamic against class opposites and a patriarchal justice system in order to protect her home and the custody of her daughter.
