EXTRACT
Abdelhamid's family didn't wait long before they left for Tunis. They were packed into a car and heading for the capital only 2 months after their return from the harvest.
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. She began dreaming of her Prince Charming and of the man of her future. This feeling was increased by her mother's work preparing her "Djehaz".
