Between the quiet diary in the meek village and the sudden move to the bustling city, a crime occurs. This novel takes us back to the eighties and moves forward towards the nineties, but, although it presents pictures of life during the Lebanese civil war, time is not the core of this novel, but rather the search for justice. In an arduous journey through the corridors of the patriarchal society, the daughter tries to trace her mother's tracks, searching for her in the memories of others, in their albums, and in their eyes.
