Synopsis Carla Pascual is the first Latin American woman to offer a close look of the Muslim world. She dives into the deep Qatar to find the reason why their women cover their bodies and faces, why they cannot be photographed; the roots of polygamy, arranged marriages, gender segregation or certain prohibitions that we do not understand. She wonders and confronts herself: How is it that these women that we thought were oppressed get along better and with more self-assurance than anyone else. Between the travel chronicle and the fictionalized autobiography, in this novel we are «the others».
