The novel explores the lives of the three siblings, Amar, Hadia, and Huda, and their parents, Layla and Rafiq, and how each one of them navigates their identities within the family. The story highlights the tension between tradition and modernity, as well as the challenges of communication and understanding within a family. Amar's rebellious nature and his parents' struggle to accept his choices is a central conflict, and the narrative also delves into themes of love, loss, and the search for belonging.
