«As Raparigas de Riade» is the romantic novel by Rajaa Al-Sanea, published by Caderno in paperback (320 pages, in Portuguese).
Four young Saudi women from Riyadh narrate weekly by email, in a chat group, their loves, dreams and disappointments. Their stories show the tension between independence and the rigid traditions of Saudi Arabia. The novel, presented as the Arabic version of «Sexo en la Ciudad», shows the clash between modernity and custom.
The novel was originally published in 2005 in Arabic with the title «بنات الرياض»; this Portuguese edition is from 2007.
For readers interested in contemporary narrative about women, tradition and modernity in the Middle East, and for reading clubs.
