Azza, the elderly woman, lives a life of waiting. In Rasha, a woman in her thirties, she finds her gateway to the world of reading, a world she loves, now that her eyesight is failing. Rasha stumbles upon the story of the rebellious poet Taj, a woman of the nineteenth century. Rasha reads the story to Azza, and the two women delve into its details and its intersections with their own lives. It is as if time continues its uninterrupted course. A story that repeats itself, transcending temporal and spatial boundaries, amidst a patriarchal society that holds the reins of power and steers the course of life according to its will, vision, and interests. And a woman who, throughout the ages, strives to triumph for her femininity and motherhood. A novel about three women from different eras, each living her own life, their lives intersecting with the others through hope and pain.
