ساحرات بلا مكانس
مع كل رواية جديدة للكاتبة السعودية إيمان الخطاف يزيد الاهتمام بالموضوع النسوي، وإبراز المعاناة النسوية، والوقوف عند بعض القضايا التي تشغل وضع المرأة العربية سواء كانت أُماً، أم زوجة، أم مطلقة، أم عزباء. ولهذا نجدها تكشف عن الجزئيات والتفاصيل التي تسم علاقات الذكورة والأنوثة في البيئة العربية ويظهر ذلك بوضوح في رواية "ساحرات بلا مكانس"، (الدار العربية للعلوم ناشرون، 2018) التي أبرزت أن للمرأة صوتا، فخفت صوت الرجل، ليعلو صوت بطلتها "علياء" الأنثى الساردة للأحداث التي قدمت لنا مشاعرها وأفكارها وتصرفاتها بل وسيرة حياتها بطريقة مباشرة. "أنا علياء، بنت الساحرة، بنت المشعوذة، بنت الدجالة، بنت خطّافة الرجال، كل النعوت الخبيثة تلاحقني، لأن والدتي هي سلمى نور الدين، المرأة القادمة من بلاد فاس وطنجة وتطوان، من حضارة بدأت مع الفينيقيين وامتدت إلى العهد الإسلامي، وحضنت الثقافة الأمازيغية والعربية والعبرية والإفريقية...". في الرواية تعالج الكاتبة موضوع الزواج الثاني للرجل السعودي من امرأة عربية وعدم تقبل مجتمع الزوج لها، كما تكشف عن السيرورة المغلقة التي تسم حياة المرأة (زواج، إنجاب، تربية أولاد) كما تدافع عن المرأة التي تختار البقاء بدون زواج، والقول أنها ليست عاجزة عن خلق السعادة في حياتها، وترصد حيوات نساء اخترن أن يكن عبيد المجتمع مقيدات بالأعراف والتقاليد ولا يستطعن الخروج من هذه الدائرة. في تظهير الحكاية يتزوج "خالد الضباني" السعودي الجنسية من امرأة مغربية هي "سلمى نور الدين" كان قد تعرف عليها في رحلة عمل، وتحضر لتعيش معه في بلده الأم. وتنجب له "علياء". لم تتقبل الزوجة الأولى "عواطف" الموضوع فتبدأ حربها ضد الزوجة المغربية وابنتها "علياء"، ولكن حرب الحريم الشرسة لم تهز الزوجة الجديدة التي ظلت معتزة بأصلها، وبحب زوجها لها ولابنتها، ولكن "علياء"، ظلت في نظرهن ابنة الساحرة... التي ولدت من أم قادمة من بلد لا يرى الحمقى فيه إلا العهر والمجون والدجل والشعوذة. تنشأ "علياء" على الاستقلالية والثقة بالنفس، تتعلم وتعمل وتنجح في عملها، ثم تتعرف على شاب سعودي لتبدأ رحلة حب، ومرض، وزواج، وطلاق، وشقاء... من أجواء الرواية نقرأ: "... قلة هم الذين يحترمون حق اختيار الأفراد في مجتمعنا، والطامة الكبرى حين يكون هذا الفرد أنثى، هنا الكل يعطي نفسه المساحة المتطفلة لإبداء الرأي والتوجيه والإرشاد، وكأنه محكوم علينا نحن الإناث أن نعيش الحياة نفسها، بذات التراتبية، نضوج ثم زواج ثم إنجاب وتربية أبناء. حتمية حمقاء يعتقد كثيرون أن البقاء في دائرتها مؤشر للسعادة الموهومة، والمشكلة أن معتنقي هذه الفكرة هم الأشد بؤساً، الأبعد عن السعادة. هذا الزواج الذي حاربت سلمى نور الدين الدنيا لنحو ثلاثة عقود لأجل استمراريته، لم يمنحها الطمأنينة ولا الأمان أو السعادة المرجوة، ظلت تكافح لأجل الصمود فقط. كثيرات مثلها، سعوديات كن أو مغربيات أو شيء آخر...".
