They were packed into a car and heading for the capital only 2 months after their return from the harvest. <br>Halima felt very lonely when her friend Myriam left with her mother and brother. But that loneliness directed her inner self towards new sensations that pervaded her thoughts. She felt the need for sex and the want of a man.

This feeling was increased by her mother's work preparing her "Djehaz".<br><br>ABOUT THE AUTOR<br><br><b>Mohamed Laroussi Métoui</b>, de son vrai nom Mohamed Laroussi Ben Tahar, né le 19 janvier 1920 à Métouia et mort le 25 juillet 2005 à Tunis, est un écrivain tunisien.
