Day laborers fled to Lebanon escaping harsh conditions, seeking their livelihood. Each has a story here and there: what tragedies they lived, endured, and the injustices they faced. What wrongs did they commit, and what wrongs were committed against them? What price did they pay for themselves and others? Were they entitled to experience love stories beyond their means and improve their lineage? What fate awaits them as their noble state remains indifferent as long as they are abroad?

Many events beyond description unfold in this realistic novel, masterfully narrated by the renowned author Yaseen Rafiah, who skillfully captures the events. He is well-versed in the complex relationship between Syrians and Lebanese, understanding how each views the other, given his Syrian roots and Lebanese residency, and his keen observation of his compatriots' affairs in his residence.

This narrative, despite its intense realism and harsh events, gracefully weaves the threads of multiple characters and events with unmatched beauty.
