The patience stone
Rahimi, Atiq2011
Book
A woman prays at her husbands bedside as he lies in a coma with a bullet in his neck. From outside come the sounds of tanks, gunshots, screaming and, most terrifying of all, silence. Inside, her frightened daughters call to her from the hallway. As she tries to keep her husband alive, the woman rages against men, war, culture, God.
