«El viento en la cara» is the novel by Saphia Azzeddine, published by Grijalbo in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Bilqiss, a young Muslim widow, is put on trial for taking the muezzin's place in prayer and defying the rules imposed by fundamentalists. An American journalist tries to publicize her cause; the judge is torn between the law and admiration for the accused. Their voices portray a woman fighting for her life and for the freedom of other women.

May appeal to those looking for contemporary fiction about the situation of women and the clash with religious fundamentalism.
