Moment by moment we become acquainted with the morning rituals, the desires of the flesh, the turbulence of the spirit, and even a few unattractive personal habits. It is a journey that takes us inside the nuances of what passes between two lovers, from the first glances of attraction to the final words of anger. It is a journey filled with all the hallmarks of the complex relationship between one man and one woman--the mystery and the ambiguity, the intricacy and the confusion--which, in the end, serve to expose its fragility. This is an intimate tale that manages to tell not only the story of two individuals, but also that of the collision of two cultures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHabib Selmi\u003c\/b\u003e, born in 1951 in Kairouan, Tunisia, is a professor of Arabic literature in Paris and has published seven novels, which have been translated into French, German, and Italian. \u003ci\u003eThe Scents of Marie-Claire \u003c\/i\u003ewas shortlisted for the International Prize for Arab Fiction (the Arabic Booker) in 2009. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFadwa Al Qasem\u003c\/b\u003e, with a B.A. in English literature, is a writer and jewelry designer and the creative director of Tabeer, a content and media services company based in Dubai.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.6 x 4.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 30, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47492322853085,"sku":"9789774167409","price":18.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/UoVXgqL9Lk9789774167409.webp?v=1771938009","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-scents-of-marie-claire-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
