"At a time when there is growing interest in the intersections between gender and war, Year of the Elephant provides an unselfconscious enterprise of self-affirmation."

World Literature Today
"Leila Abouzeid has created a new style, a mosaic of expression with which she describes her old and yet new world of Morocco."
—Ahmed Abd al-Salam al-Bakkah, Moroccan author and poet
In this moving fictional treatment of a Muslim woman's life, a personal and family crisis impells the heroine to reexamine traditional cultural attitudes toward women. Cast out and divorced by her husband, she finds herself in a strange new world. Both obstacles and support systems change as she actively participates in the struggle for Moroccan independence from France.
This feminist novel is a literary statement in a modern realist style. Many novels by women of the Middle East that have been translated reflect Western views, values, and education. By contrast,
Year of the Elephant is uniquely Moroccan and emerges from North African Islamic culture itself. Its subtle juxtaposition of past and present, of immediate thought and triggered memory, reflects the heroine's interior conflict between tradition and modern demands. The title refers to a famous battle described in the Koran.

Very helpful.......2007-04-25
If you want some personal history and perspective of what it was like to be a Moroccan woman during the years of the author's live, this is an excellent introduction.
I Will Survive!.......2003-12-09
Set against the background of the Moroccan War of Independence, "Year of the Elephant" tells of one woman's rebirth and her sustaining faith. The title is symbolic of a battle in Islamic history where foreign tribes were defeated in their attempts to ovethrow the Muslims.
The protagonist, Zahra, must find her way back to feeling that she is a worthy human being and not the worthless person she feels like after being discarded by her husband. We learn her story through past and present events that intertwine to give us a complete picture of her struggles with life, her faith and herself.
With the aid of the fiqah, her spiritual guide, Zahra is able to realize that her life has meaning and she has made a great contribution to the fight for freedom. She comes to realize that her faith has been a guiding force throughout her life, and that faith is what willcontinue to guide her as she embarks on a new phase of her life - as an independent woman capable of surviving on her own.
The novella takes us through the highs and lows of Zahra's life as a key player in the fight for freedom and her struggle to re-claim herself. I enjoyed this novella because of the strength of Zahara's character and the theme that women can and should take charge of their lives. This theme is a universal one that appears in novels written by women, and it transcends race, culture, and economic backgrounds. I was able to share in her triumph against obstacles she faced as she looked within and found her true self. I feel this will be appealing to all women who read this novella.
The short stories that follw the novella are a mixture of plots and themes that depict the lives of different individuals. After the uplifting feeling of "Year of the Elephant", the short stories were a let down. The overall theme appears to be one of poverty, despair, and discontent as the characters go about their lives. They are men, women, adn children who seem to find little in life to be happy about adn to some degree seem to find their happiness in their discontent.
I feel it would have been better to expand on the novella and to leave the short stories out, or they could have been published separately. However, the important factor in this translation is that the reader gets to experience the voice of a woman whose life and culture are completely different from that of Western society.
A Woman's Realization in Year of the Elephant.......2003-12-08
In the novella Year of the Elephant, author Leila Abouzeid combines two stories into one moving narrative. It is about an older woman who must make a new start in her life. And hers is a life that is tied to the rebirth of a nation. I think Abouzeid has skillfully combined these two elements to create a bittersweet tale of struggle, independence, and sobering realization.
The main character, Zahra, has returned to her childhood home in Meknes, Morocco. She is reeling from a painful divorce. After two decades of marriage, her husband has ignominiously severed their union with a brief note that read, "your papers will be sent to you along with whatever the law provides." These words are the culmination of years of growing disillusionment and estrangement between a husband and wife, between a dream and reality. And these words echo through Zahra's mind as she tries to rebuild her life.
Part of what made the book interesting to me is the background of the story. At the end of World War II, colonies like Morocco struggled for independence. After a violent decade of revolt, the French finally released their grip on the Moroccans and restored its monarchy. It was during this period that the author sets the stage.
I like the fact that Zahra was not an armed combatant in the revolution. She doesn't have a stomach for killing, but is nevertheless dedicated to helping "the cause". Abouzeid, I feel, deliberately avoids being overly gory or melodramatic. I think she wants to focus on Zahra's voice as a Moroccan woman. Zahra contributes by smuggling arms and distributing pamphlets. She is one of those faceless individuals who perform the mundane yet dangerous tasks behind the scenes of a popular uprising. But to Zahra, it means everything. It is an opportunity to help liberate her people. And it is an opportunity to raise the status of women. And it's during this struggle that Zahra meets her husband, a charismatic leader of the resistance.
After the French are driven out of Morocco, Zahra and her husband settle into a comfortable existence. But Zahra isn't content. She realizes that Morocco is still affected by French influence and ideals. Also, opportunities for women didn't really materialize. Her husband embraces these ideals while she longs for a return to a traditional lifestyle. She sees that the new leaders of Morocco have been corrupted by their former rulers. It is a bitter pill to swallow for her and many of her countrymen.
Back in Meknes, the divorced Zahra struggles to survive. She finds solace in the Sheikh, an ageless figure from her past. He is a wise and caring person who teaches her to trust in God. It is an uplifting message that carries her through some dark periods. However, she must confront the reality that as an older woman her options are limited. She faces an uphill battle. It is a battle women throughout the world face.
Year of the Elephant by Leila Abouzeid.......2003-12-08
Year of the Elephant has special meaning for it tells about a woman named Zahra and the struggle for independence of her country, as well as herself. She struggled to retrieve important elements of her culture that were stolen. When the French invaded Morocco they stripped the country of their right to choose language, culture, and freedom to educate in the ways of their land. In addition, the French spent many years putting the Arabic culture down and spreading the idea that it was inferior to the French. Resisters to the French government were thrown in prison where they were tortured and hung.
Zahra had to face many personal struggles. Recently divorce she faced the problem of supporting herself, being shunned by neighbors because she was a divorced woman, and having low self-esteem because her husband abandoned her after 40 years of marriage. All that she has left is a small room left by her father, and she is totally alone without family. What I liked most about this book is the author's poetic way of describing things. After finding her self alone, Zahra visits the burial ground of her dead relatives and makes the statement, "Death seems alluring in it's tranquility." At another time when she is upset over her recent divorce, she reflects on how rotten the world is. She noticed some children playing and makes the statement, "The world is rotting about us, yet people still procreate. ....Children provide proof that God has not yet despaired of the human race." What I did not like about this book is the way the author would switch times; this made the reading hard to interpret. The book shows women's struggled against stereotyping and the fight is harder when you are alone. At the same time , Zahra proved to us that it is during hard times we, as women find strength in ourselves and our divinity. The book has a surprise ending and shows us that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Year of the Elephant by Leila Abouzeid.......2003-12-08
Year of the Elephant proved to be a pretty enlightening novel, it is told from the point of view of Zahra, the protagonist who finds herself in a constant struggle for independence. Divorced from her husband and without any family support, she is left alone to fend for herself. What captured me most about this novel was Zahra's personal growth as she traces her steps towards independence. Moreover, this novel does an excellent job at clearly showing Zahra's transformation from beginning to the end. I also enjoyed this novel because it is easy to see and understand Zahra's pain; she allows us to enter her world and feel her many frustrations. Moreover, we can see that although this story revolves around Zahra's personal journey towards independence, the themes contained within the novel cover much more. Leila Abouzeid cleverly incorporates many other important themes such as the struggle against colonialism, the struggle against poverty and divorce, and most importantly she stresses the importance of faith.
As Zahra reflects on her past, I realized how committed she was to overcome colonialism, Zahra fought against colonialism because she believed they would eventually reestablish traditional principals. However, soon after independence she realized that this was not the case, instead of reestablishing their traditional principles, they began to duplicate the form of government left behind by the French. Unfortunately for Zahra, this post colonial period brought her many problems, including her divorce. As Zahra's husband finds himself advancing through the ranks of government, he begins to see himself as being better than Zahra, more "high class" and therefore is no longer interested in a traditional wife. "I don't eat with a fork. I don't speak French. I don't sit with men. I don't go out to fancy dinners...their positions in society now call for modern women." In other words, he divorces Zahra because she no longer fits into his newly found ideals.
Through reading this novel I learned the cultural significance of Zahra's divorce. "For our people, divorce is a catastrophe, an absolute disaster." As I continued reading, I found myself completely absorbed by her story. The way she described her situation, the state of poverty, and loneliness she found herself in, made me feel a sense of pity for her. "In my whole life I have never found myself in such a helpless situation." I thought to myself "how could a woman her age overcome this she rough situation? How will she survive?"
What I find most admirable about Zahra is her ongoing display of faith. After her divorce she finds herself alone, with no family or friends to turn to. She is surrounded by poverty, she has nothing but the small room she inherited, and "whatever the law provides" from her husband, (which she makes clear is not much at all.) However despite everything she is going through she doesn't turn away from God, on the contrary, she uses her faith to give her the peace of mind she needs in order to persevere and gain her personal independence. Throughout the novel Zahra's only support came from the Sheikh, "As soon as I see him, I feel reassured." while reading about the sheikh, I too felt reassured. What I liked most about him is that he not only answers her questions, or solves her problems, he does more than that, he guided her in the right direction, and allowed her to make her own decisions, and solve her own problems; he was her pillar of strength.

Insightful and Funny!.......2006-08-15
The author of this book has a keen observational eye for the details of New York nightlife and its denizens. He takes what might first appear as a frivolous or superficial subject and manages to extract some real anthropological significance from it. But you can still read it at the beach.
Very Cool Book.......2006-08-14
I really enjoyed reading about all the amusing people in this book. It's sort of like a better written, funnier, more detailed version of the Warhol Diaries... except the Warhol Diaries is packed with boring old farts like Liza Minnelli and Bob Colacello, whereas this book has mental cases like Courtney Love and that tacky thing who does the Baby Phat clothes -- you know, the former model who thinks she's Tyra Banks but is really just Jocelyne Wildenstein in Beyonce drag. Anyhow, you know that when you've got Kimora and Courtney in the same book, you're gonna laugh (and if you've got them in the same room, bring backup... as you'll see in Confessions.)
A Well-Weaved Saga of New York's Underground Nightlife.......2006-08-08

New York energy condensed to a book.......2006-07-30
I was pulled into this book from the very first page. Not only does it paint the real life experience with every word but it is written in such a lively manner that the sizzling times in NYC just pour through you. I especially loved the Heatherette piece. Could not stop laughing. Looking forward to Glenn's next book. Five Stars from Paris.
My favorite book this summer.......2006-07-24
I love to read NYC celebrity gossip columns mainly because I love to imagine all the excitement going on in the Big Apple. I've heard about nightclub line ups and doormen and the horror of rejection. This book not only made me feel like I was standing next to the doorman getting an insider's view, but by the end of the book, I felt like I really knew Thomas and that I really had been there. I can't think of another book that's been able to make me forget I was reading a book. I laughed out loud - this book made me laugh out loud. It made me see that anyone can feel like a star - the glamor is in the attitude not the pocketbook. Confessions of the Velvet Ropes is like a guidebook to cutting edge NYC nightlife complete with tips on how to pull off a look, to get into the club and how to have a wild time without getting hung up on being an outcast from NJ. It was a thoroughly fun book to read.

So vulnerable that she doesn't realize that her new lovers are involved in more than kinky sex, and that they might take her new club down with them...unless she takes them down first.
Customer Reviews:
Did we all read the same book?.......2007-09-06
I can't believe we all read the same book. There is plenty of edgy AA erotica out there without having to tolerate this one.
The main character has NO development except for tantrums and self-discipline that would compare with a preschooler. There is no explanation about how she manages to hook the Harvard Law guy -- in real life he'd run fast from this girl. She appears to be unlikeable and self-absorbed; guess what, author, only pretty and hot gets you nowhere.
No romance here. Just some fairly-well written sex, some drugs, and *nobody* you'd like to meet in real life.
Went straight to the trash can. I like my fiction to have somebody to root for.
PURE JUNK; nothing erotic about this book.......2007-08-07
One can read any porno magazine and the descriptions would be identical to those found in this poor excuse for an "erotic romance". It leaves NOTHING to the imagination; written with a high school vocabulary and the literary ability of a pubescent male (or 'nigga' as so often used in this book). Don't waste your time..there are so many truly talented authors to read...perhaps Ms. Thomas should pick up a book and learn how to write of a class she clearly aspires to but is aeons away from attaining.
Five is Enough.......2007-02-22
I read this book because it was the sequel to "Threesome", and "FourPlay" - which were two good books. I really did not enjoy The Velvet Rope to much.
Tiffany has left Platium Images and decided to open her own nightclub with her fiance' and couple of other friends. Things decided to take a twist and not go as planned.
Tiffany and her fiance' is not together, and she begin to date someone who is no good for her. She then gets involved with the wrong type of people and then things began to get out of hand.
This did not have much sex appeal as the other two books, but it was quite interesting. I encourage reader to read all three books. I will continue to read book from Brenda L. Thomas.
This is My First... .......2007-01-28
time reading one of Brenda Thomas' books. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed, considering Brenda seemed to rely heavily on sex to get her book over. I don't know, it's beginning to feel like urban fiction is turning more into written porn, instead of GOOD STORYTELLING. A true sign of a good book is when an author can balance the 2.
I won't waste time by repeating what the book is about, because it's been said by others. So I'll just say that, Brenda made a point of describing, Tiffany as an intelligent woman at the beginning of her book. And then spent the rest of the book having, Tiffany behave extremely foolish. Which just didn't add up for me.
Alterations.......2006-12-30
Tiffany Johnson has decided to leave Platinum Images and open her own nightclub, Teaz Entertainment. Her family and her fiancé, Malik, support her 100%. Tiffany overhears a conversation that was not meant for her ears that will change her life for the worse.

Tiffany has always had a good head on her shoulders, but now she throws caution to the wind and has since begun hanging out with people very different from her.
With the new changes and differences taking place in Tiffany's life she may lose Teaz Entertainment after working so hard to obtain it. Will Tiffany pull her head out of the sand before she loses everything?

Great Album Great Music Book : ).......2006-12-09
I consider this to be Janet's best album, and I was finally able to afford the music book that mirrors the cd (jobs are great). Anyway, some of the songs seem very difficult (tons of 5 note chords with flats/sharps/naturals all over the place), and some are easier. I think the ones best suited for piano playing in this book are Everytime (fairly simple, lots of broken chords, and it sounds a lot like the original recording), Empty (beautiful broken chords on the left hand and the melody an octave higher on the right), Tonight's The Night (more broken chords, fairly simple, and very warm sounding), and Special (a little repetative sounding, but still pretty easy to get the hang of once you figure out the rhythm). But if you love the CD and you play a bit of piano, don't hesitate to buy the book : ).

Keep the tissues handy - they will be needed.......2007-01-10
Anna Walker has never gotten over the tragedy that she experienced when she was a mere child watching her father die in a fire, while she escaped with nothing more than a few singed shoelaces. Since that day, Anna has felt that there was something more she could have done to have saved her daddy from a fiery grave. But, alas, there wasn't. Now, even after moving to New York City to pursue a career in journalism, Anna feels guilt pangs at unexpected moments. But that doesn't stop her from ridiculing her plastic-surgery obsessed boss, Nasty. Of course, Anna doesn't expect to have her private thoughts regarding the fragile Cruella De Vil clone broadcast all over the city, causing her to lose her job. But maybe it was for the best. After all, it is only after being fired from her job as a PR puppy that she is offered the opportunity she has been looking for: the chance to write her very own column. Sure, it's a column about New York City nightlife, which Anna knows absolutely nothing about, but it's a column, and Anna feels that, given a little hard work, she'll be able to make it fabulous. But when she attempts to get through the Velvet Rope of a club during her very first assignment, and is turned away by the bouncer for wearing last year's Marc Jacobs heels, Anna instantly begins having second thoughts. That is, until she runs into a spicy stranger who assists her in making her way through the entrance, and stealing her heart at the exact same moment. Now, Anna is experiencing a bunch of firsts all at once, from kissing strangers to writing for a huge newspaper, and even being the lucky recipient of a to-die-for social life involving spa dates, and shopping sprees. But as Anna sinks deeper and deeper into her new existence, she begins questioning whether being on the A-list is truly what it's all cracked up to be, or if making a life of her own would be more desirable.
As a self-professed chick lit addict, and a writer myself, I couldn't resist picking up Daniella Brodsky's THE VELVET ROPE DIARIES when I saw it sitting upon the shelf at Barnes & Noble. From page one, Anna presents a vulnerability that makes the reader feel sympathetic to both her current situation, and her past; while at the same time showcasing a fresh voice that is unique, yet extremely relatable. Anna is enchanting and her life story is riveting. Her interactions with her platonic pal and roommate, Ray, are intoxicating, and lead the reader on a wild goose chase to discover whether the pair actually have underlying romantic feelings for one another; while Anna's struggles to make her way to the top are both easy-to-understand, and, oft-times, gut-wrenching. Brodsky has penned a marvelous addition to the chick lit genre that embraces two separate sides of the spectrum: hilarious, laugh-out-loud funny commentary, along with slightly melancholy undertones. The two contrasting ideas mixed together make a fabulous, original tale that will leave readers in a blend of stitches and tears. Keep the tissues handy - they will be needed.

Best Yet!.......2006-12-01
I have read all of Daniella's novels, and think this is the best yet! It is a great story that has a happy ending, but definitely has some "grit" and sadness that were not in her other novels. It was a great read!
terrific chick lit tale .......2006-10-04
Anna Walker loves writing so when the perfect job is offered to her she jumps at it though she has some concerns. The topic frightens her as she knows nothing about the New York nightlife yet that is what Anna must cover.
Gritting her teeth and leaving the popcorn and cable movies behind, Anna begins her quest to conquer the New York night scene, as she must not just survive; she needs to write about it. Anna also hopes the job will help occupy her mind as she suffers form survival guilt in that she manages to get out of the fire that killed her father. As she meets men including Ray from her past, her peers and some of her so called friends want her to fail out of envy, but though she is unaware of it the fire has strengthened Anna's resolve.
This is a terrific chick lit tale because the not so prime time player seems very real due to her doubts about diving into a different pool filled with the rich and famous and that frightens her. Anna's growth from hiding in the shadows to increasingly confident woman, as her asides depict, make for a wonderful coming of age story that sub-genre fans will appreciate.

Very Interesting Read.......2006-04-05
I'm quite surprised to be the first one to review this book. I won't go into the details, but if you like steamy sex scenes, contemporary plots and settings , then you will enjoy this book. It only took me a day to finish the book and I am very interested in what Mr. Gregory Haney II is gonna cook up for Tiffany and Malik ,once he get outta prison......
I must check out some of Ms. Thomas other books.
