(plot): From a Crooked Rib is the story of Ebla, a young women who flees her nomadic life in the Ogaden after her grandfather offers her in marriage to an old man in exchange for some camels. She takes refuge with a cousin in a nearby town, only to discover that he intends to settle his debts by marrying her to a local broker. Ebla flees again, travelling to Mogadishu with an educated young man named Awill. On finding Awill is having an affair, she then takes a second husband, who in turn treats her like a prostitute. By the end of the story Ebla realises that women are treated as little more than cattle in the countryside and no better in the city. She decides that she must act in her own interest and becomes a prostitute. The novel ends with Ebla discovering she is pregnant without knowing who the father is.
