Under Mother’s Feet by Bothayna Al Issa

If you ask any person on this planet, why were you born and how? And what you really want? The answer is simple. This is how people are born and this is how they will perish.

The writer takes us to a world were men are the masters and women are born to satisfy and obey them. She exposes a society ruled by traditions and religions values that allow men to have many wives and feel special and privileged from young age.

Very interesting novel, where the writer showed how various characters react in a closed society that is tied to old traditions and values written a revolting and critical fashion.
