The events of this novel unfold along the banks of the Nile, with destructive love as a central theme. It derives its dramatic essence from a blend of legend and miracle, juxtaposing the rational with the irrational. The novel opens cultural windows to a vast wealth of folklore, religious, and historical heritage, spanning three centuries in a corner of our world unfamiliar to the Arab reader.
