Set against the backdrop of contemporary Damascus, this collection of nine short stories delves into themes of love and loss while challenging common stereotypes of Arab identities. Through the lens of personal experiences, the narratives address issues like marriage dynamics, exile, and class distinctions, revealing the complexities of life in Syria. The author, drawing from her anthropological fieldwork, reflects on the power of storytelling in conveying deeper truths that traditional academic writing may overlook. An Arabic edition gained significant recognition in the Arab world upon its release.
