Title : The Water Ploughman - Hoda Barakat - book

Summary :

Like his father and grandfather, Nicolas is a well-to-do merchant in downtown Beirut, where he owns a renowned fabric store. During the civil war, the shop burned down, and he took refuge in the basement and decided to live there. Wrapped in his sumptuous silks, he remembers the two women in his life: his mother, capricious and unfaithful, and Chamsa, his Kurdish mistress, a worthy descendant of a rebellious people, a much-loved woman with whom he could have escaped his grim destiny... When it was published in Arabic in 2000, "The Water Plowman" won the prestigious Naguib Mahfouz Literary Prize.
