Tells the story of Sultana, an Algerian woman doctor who, after years spent living in France, returns to her native village in order to attend the funeral of a former lover. This book explores the clash between her origins and the Westernized life she now leads.

Through its heroine, Kenza, and her search for herself through the mother she doesn't know, this novel mirrors the struggle of Algerian women to make a place in a society that has stripped them of their rights.
