"In a poor coastal fishing village, a beautiful girl unknowingly attracts the attention of a local aristocrat. Before she knows it, she is forced to marry this man she has never seen and leave behind all that is familiar to her - her carefree days spent helping her mother with daily tasks, dreamily listening to the sounds of the wind and the waves, and watching boats come and go. She is taken away to her husband's manor in the city and plunged into a strange world of opulence and quiet severity.". "Gradually the Girl from the Coast grows acclimated to the ways of the household but becomes increasingly plagued by doubts. Where does her husband go for days on end? What does he really think of her? Why is everyone so afraid of him? Too timid to ask him these kinds of questions directly she repeatedly turns to the maidservant who has been assigned to her; and it is from her conversations with this older woman that the girl begins to understand the truth about her new life.". "What follows is a tale of a young woman's journey down a lonely and painful path to maturity. Along the way, she confronts the harsh realities of a society in which females are little more than property, a society made up of those who issue orders and those who carry them out."--BOOK JACKET.

Karya Buya Hamka Di Bawah Lindungan Ka’bah menceritakan jalinan cinta antara dua tokoh utama bernama Hamid dan Zainab yang terhalang oleh perbedaan latar belakang sosial dan ekomoni. Menyadari perbedaan yang mereka hadapi, Hamid merelakan cintanya dan menuruti permintaan ibunda Zainab, Mak Asiah, untuk meminta Zainab menikah dengan laki-laki pilihan keluarga. Hal itu membuat hati Hamid hancur lalu ia pergi ke tanah suci. Bagaimanakah nasib Zainab setelah ditinggal pergi sang pujaan hati, Hamid? Akankah takdir menyatukan cinta mereka kembali? Dalam buku Di Bawah Lindungan Ka’bah, Buya Hamka mengingatkan kembali bahwa hanya Allah SWT-lah yang telah mengatur segala sesuatunya yang terbaik untuk hamba-hamba-Nya serta kepada-Nyalah kita menyerahkan segala urusan. Buya Hamka menyampaikan pemahamannya bahwa cinta yang suci bebas dari rasa keinginan yang berlebih dan mampu menahan hawa nafsu.
