In a crumbling colonial mansion besieged by slums in the old quarter of Algiers, Lamia lives a life of self-imposed isolation, communing only with her ghosts by day, working as a paediatrician by day. Her family are dead, but for her beloved brother Sofiane, who has become a harraga
- one of those who risk their lives attempting to flee the country for a better life in Europe/elsewhere. Lamia`s tranquil, ordered existence is turned upside-down when a sixteen-year-old stranger knocks on her door in the middle of the night. Only because she has been sent by Sofiane, Lamia takes the girl in. Pregnant, unmarried & dressed in garish finery like an X-Factor contestant, Cherifa is talkative, curiously innocent, & utterly unafraid. She enters the house like a whirlwind, & leaves a trail of destruction in her wake. Lamia must try to teach her, to protect her against a world where a woman who is not meek, subservient, married is an affront, where a girl who is pregnant can be killed to spare her family`s honour. By turns funny & lyrical, luminous & sardonic, Harraga, by the controversial author of An Unfinished Business, is the engaging & ultimately tragic story of two very different women who become friends & allies in a patriarchal world.
