Lalla Fatma, Ben Jelloun's mother, believes she is in Fez in 1944where she grew upnot in Tangier in 2000, where the story begins.
Guided by her fragmented memories, Ben Jelloun reimagines his mother's life in Fez at the end of the war, in the heavily ritualised world of custom and tradition that saw her married, pregnant and widowed by sixteen. He gains privileged, painful access to her lives as daughter, sister, thrice widowed wifelives in which she had little say, mostly spent working in kitchens, marked by a deep religious faith and love for her familyas Alzheimer's rips them all away.
A delicate portrait of a woman's slow and unwinding descent into dementia, About My Mother maps out the beautiful, fragile and complex nature of human experience in prose equally tender and compelling.
