In this poignant novel, Dunya Ghali tells the story of Aisha, an Iraqi woman who flees the ravages of war in Basra for the alienating streets of Paris. As she navigates her new life, her past intertwines with her present. Her own body becomes the last shelter, a vessel holding the memories of her lost homeland, her family, and her identity. The narrative delves deep into the themes of displacement, trauma, the female body as a landscape of memory, and the struggle to find a sense of belonging in a world that feels foreign.
