In Jabra's first novel, Amin Samaa walks the length of his native city on a portentous night. He is headed to the house of Inayat Yasser, an aristocratic heiress. On his way there, Amin recalls his childhood in a nearby village and the city slum his family had to flee to after his father died. Old friends, thieves and madames attempt to waylay him. And the haunting atmosphere of the city gives rise to memories of Amin's wife Sumaya, whose sudden disappearance two years before has left him at a loss.
