The Patience Stone by Atiq Rahimi
Pierre de patience
An Afghan woman keeps vigil over her comatose husband in a war-ravaged city, turning him into a silent confidant to whom she pours out long-hidden fears, desires, and memories; through this unrestrained monologue she exposes the violence and hypocrisy that have shaped her life, reclaims her voice, and gradually discovers a painful but liberating inner strength that forces her to confront the limits of love, duty, and survival.
