Publisher's Synopsis
This seering novel conveys, with deep sincerity, what goes on in the depths of a woman's soul when she is in love: her feelings, thoughts and contradictions, as she recognises that the hardest thing is preserving that feeling of love in the face of blatant manipulation. Jumana plays the role of the lover who madly obsesses over Aziz, but learns that he does not love her as she deserves. She comes to see herslef as a delicate butterfly with wings that have been subjected to injustice and tyranny by her beloved Aziz. In time, she comes to see her lover as mighty, cruel and authoritarian. With this great injustice and the destruction of dreams woven in mind and heart over long days and nights, Jumana finally has to reconcile herself to the loss of everything, for all that she has sacrificed so much for the sake of Aziz.
