The Sabas family lives in a small Jordanian town that for centuries has been descended upon by all manner of invader, the latest a scourge of disconcerting Evangelical tourists. The border town relies on a blackmarket trade of clothes, trinkets , and appliances – the quality of which depends entirely on who’s fighting – but the conflict in nearby Syria has the place even more on edge than usual. <br><br> Meanwhile, the Sabas home is ruled by women – Mother Fadhma, Laila, Samira, and now, Muna, a niece visiting from America for the first time – and it is brimming with regrets and desires. Clandestine pasts in love, politics, even espionage, threaten the delicate balance of order in the household, as generations clash. The family’s ostensible patriarch – Laila’s husband Hussein – enjoys no such secrets, not in his family or in town, where Hussein is known as the Levant’s only pig butcher, dealing in chops, sausages, and hams, much to the chagrin of his observant neighbors. <br><br> When a long-lost soldier from Hussein's military past arrives, the Sabas clan must decide whether to protect or expose him, bringing long-simmering rivalries and injustices to the surface. Enchanting and fearless, Halasa's prose intertwines the lives of three generations of women as they navigate the often stifling, sometimes absurd realities of everyday life in the Middle East.

Героини книги – бабушки, наши ангелы-хранители. Судьба каждой из них неповторима, а истории любви достойны пера романиста. Наряду со свидетельствами мемуаристов XIX века в книге представлены воспоминания наших современников. Авторов объединяет «память сердца» и благодарность к тем, кто сумел предать внукам творческое отношение к жизни, сострадание к людям, любовь к искусству и природе.

Summer vacation for Julia suddenly interrupted. When bathing in the sea it drags on the bottom of the unknown force, the Earth Keepers. They tell Julia that the sixth Earth civilization may soon die. Fighters previous civilizations were destroyed. Earth Keepers found the cause of the lesions: men are logical, and therefore easy to calculate… This time the fighter will be a woman.

The received signal “fight on” has rallied all the earthlings around Super Queen-Mother. She went into the match with confidence. The battle lasted a long time…

Только одна может всех спасти, потому что она – Super Queen-Mother – Хозяйка Земли. Бойцы предыдущих цивилизаций были уничтожены: мужчины логичны, а значит – легко просчитываемы… В этот раз бойцом будет женщина. Женщине природа доверила рождение людей, ей их и защищать…
