Bouthaina Abdelaziz

This novel is based on the life of the Tunisian singer Saliha and proposes a number of hypotheses about her premature death and treats how the Tunisian government exploited her posthumously despite the fact that she had been the object of harassment and threats on numerous occasions without having received any protection. The work also delves into the world of Tunisian music during the colonial era, thereby becoming a vehicle to deconstruct issues that remain crucial today such as misogyny, women in the public sphere, the difficulties facing artistic creativity due to the control of diverse authorities, and the convergence of art with politics and money.
