Years go by without feeling, after taking so much from our souls. The Sheikh Salama family will witness more unexpected conflicts, events and changes than we can imagine.
After Meri emigrated Circassian with her family from Russia to Bulgaria under the Ottoman Empire, she is forced by conditions to migrate back to Alexandria, where a new life begins in Egypt.
Here at that time we see the generational penalisation of the Sheikh Salama family and the details of the Circassian mirror of life in an exciting period of the age of Egypt, where the novel takes place in the period of the English occupation of Egypt and the war of Palestine. We see through successive generations what is happening in simple Egyptian families at that time, and how emotions play an essential role in shaping the lives of the people of Egypt.
