Review:
"In this splendid translation, which is a major addition to Maghrebi literature, Professor Lunt has managed to encapsulate the book's rural flavor and remain faithful to the tone of the novel and the Guellouz text, which highlights family memoires and the author's reflections. Also, this translation's contribution shows Tunisian women's place in the larger community. I believe the Les jardins du nord takes all its significance if we put it in the context of social reforms initiated byt the first Tunisian president, Habib Bourguiba (1959-1987), and then consolidated by civil society and women of letters such as Souad Guellouz". Dr. Abdelkader Cheref State University of New York at Potsdam.
