Quote preview background for Yasmina Khadra
But she was so happy in her gilded cage, wasn__ she? She ate well, slept well, enjoyed herself She lacked nothing. And then, look, a bunch of mental cases turn her away from her happiness and send her to -- how did you put it? -- to __low herself away_?. The good doctor lives next door to a war but he doesn__ want to hear a word about it. And he thinks his wife shouldn__ worry about it, either. _ We__e at war. Some people take up arms; others twiddle their thumbs. And still others make a killing in the name of the Cause. That__ life. _ Your wife chose her side. The happiness you offered her smelled of decay. It repulsed her, you get it? She didn__ want your happiness. She couldn__ work on her suntan while her people were bent under the Zionist yoke. Do I have to draw you a picture to make you understand, or do you refuse to look reality in the face?
