It tells the story of a Lebanese mother from the South who lost her husband and her three sons to war, until loss itself became her daily homeland. One night, heavy with memory and blood, she finds herself face to face with a wounded soldier on the threshold of her home, suspended between life and death.
Between an undying maternal instinct and a memory of loss that refuses to rest, this woman's humanity is put to its hardest test. A surprise that could never be imagined by any reader.
A novel about motherhood stripped of certainty, and about the human being pushed to the furthest edge of morality—where there are no heroes and no enemies… only hearts bleeding in silence.
