Hanan Al-Shaykh reads in the lines of society the tragedy of the female, brimming with barbaric male tyranny, sadistic in its origin and end. Zahra is a symbol of every female, a flower who experiences her share of pain, oppression, and absurdity in all its forms from a patriarchal society in which men are entitled to whatever they wish. Hannan writes about a war Zahra experienced during the Lebanese Civil War, a tragedy that surpassed the tragedy of the actual war. Her journey from Africa to Lebanon, from south to south, from Beirut to Beirut, from party to party, from the keyhole to the shadows of rooms, to the end of the tunnel, is the story of a woman in a so-called civilized society.

The writer also explains that what we can consider a coincidence with us may be wisely studied and what we interact with with all honesty may be fake and obsolete as the first boot, the past is just images stuck in our heads and just a glance of it returns to expose itself, and opens new cracks in our hearts, pushing you to search and explore what the truth is and to what extent it can comfort you or in any proportion that may make you a wreckage between the legs, yet the search for it is The way of salvation,
