Taghreed and Majida graduate from the Teachers' College in the occupied Palestinian territory for the ninety-ninth time, seeking work but facing harsh circumstances... They sign contracts with an Arab teaching mission and travel with a man in his fifties, entering into fictitious marriages with him to make their trip permissible... They hold out hope for marriage with their fiancés, Jihad, a blacksmith in the besieged refugee camp, and Ghazi, who has gone to America to study. The narrative unfolds amid the terrifying situations within the besieged Palestinian pocket, the humiliating exile abroad, and the purely Arab borders, endlessly repetitive... What will be the outcome of the novel? What will become of Taghreed's love for Jihad and Majida's affair with Ghazi? What will be the fate of the two beautiful women living with their chaperone (Abu Mahyoub) under one roof for years of exile?
