"My departure was inevitable, but did things really have to unfold this way? It always ended with me breaking down in tears. On some days, I wished I could stop every person on the street and tell them how I survived, how I wrestled my freedom away, and passionately write about the right of girls and women to break free from abusive families. On other days, I would glance around in fear, worried that someone might see me and report my whereabouts. My heart would leap out of my chest with every unknown call or message, with every unexpected knock at my door. Even in my dreams, I would relive my final moments in that house, trembling at the thought of failing to claim my independence or being forced to return home for any reason." Asia, the protagonist of the novel, escapes from her troubled life in Cairo to Sinai in search of a fresh start—sometimes seeking safety, other times chasing adventure. She moves between places, tries different jobs, and mingles with various circles of people. Her journey oscillates between connection and detachment, both with herself and others. Through narration, letters, and diaries, she recounts nearly eight years of personal transformations she never anticipated.
