"Dunia aspires to be a professional dancer and poet, but her artistic expression is limited by her inability to experience and express desire. Dunia's reasoning that women should not move their bodies to evoke an act of love is challenged by the ardent public intellectual Dr. Beshir. With his help, Dunia begins an all-consuming search for ecstasy in poetry, dance and music--taking us into the world of women in a society that both fetishizes and oppresses female sexuality. Ultimately, Dunia learns that she must confront the traditions that have destroyed her capacity for pleasure before she will be able to experience it"--Container.
