«La muette» is a novel by Chahdortt Djavann, published in 2009 by France Loisirs in paperback (143 pages, in French).
Fatemeh, a fifteen-year-old Iranian teenager, narrates from prison, in a notebook, the almost symbiotic relationship with her mute aunt and the latter's passion for a man. In the Iran of the mullahs, that story leads to tragedy. The author builds a brief, incisive narrative stripped of artifice.
For readers of French fiction, interested in personal stories with a political backdrop in Iran.
