A contemporary novel whose protagonist is an ambitious young Pakistani man from a prestigious family. He decides to immigrate to the United States, a haven for those dreaming of a more sophisticated world. There, he achieves success, becomes notable both professionally and socially, and enters into a wonderful love affair with the beautiful Erica. Then, the events of September 11th occur, and everything is turned upside down... as if the two planes destroyed his professional and emotional destiny as they destroyed the towers in New York. The curse of September 11th has fallen upon him, like many from the region who have no connection to what happened. This novel portrays, with a beautiful and harsh realism, the dramatic shift in the conflict between the West and the East, represented by what the hero faced as they assassinated his ambition and pursued even his nascent dreams.
