Title : The Cities of the Plain - Diane Meur - book

Summary :

In an imaginary ancient civilization, one that awakens in us a curious sense of familiarity, the scribe Asral is tasked with producing a new copy of the laws. Thanks to the naive questions of his guard Ordjéneb, he soon realizes that the sacred language he is transcribing is outdated and that true fidelity to the spirit of the text would consist in reformulating it, so that it is once again understood as it was conceived four or five centuries earlier. Little by little, however, doubt sets in. Who was Anouher, the mythical legislator who has almost been made a god? Are these laws that subject public life, private relationships, and even women's bodies to constant control all by him? And does Asral have a better chance of finding out one day than of winning the love of Djinnet, a young singer from the basket-weavers' suburb?
