“Book Descriptions: Benghazi is the story of Mariam Khaldoon, a Libyan teenager who is confronted with the stultifying power of patriarchy, embodied by an emotionally distant father, and the tyrannical rule of Italian Fascism, typified by Benito Mussolini, with whom she finds herself face to face during a moment that will leave her scarred for the rest of her life. Thanks to the mysterious revelations of a charismatic Tuareg woman, Mariam learns that the path toward healing lies in her capacity to distance herself from the dysfunctional adult environment around her and to find emotional sustenance in the powers of the imagination. The teenager’s inner quest for affective self-sustenance is a narrative of personal emancipation, but it is also a story with universal resonance—a gripping exploration of the many layers of incomprehension between fathers and daughters common to our patriarchal world.” DRIVE
