The novel revolves around the lives of three female characters, beginning before the Nakba, passing through the Naksa, and spanning over half a century.It deeply explores themes of exile and persuasion, but at its core, the story is dominated by the harrowing subject of rape. The narrative unfolds in a charged atmosphere of anger, defiance, and rebellion, often leaving the reader breathless. Engaging with pivotal and sensitive moments in Arab and Palestinian history, the novel captures a time when defeat comes from within, where weakness stems from the heart and mind, and signs of fragmentation are glaringly present yet go unnoticed.
