The novel’s events take place on a bus on a daily trip from the countryside to the city, with each passenger on their own journey!
Maher and Hisham take us on a journey of faith and atheism, the duality of doubt and certainty, and intellectual dialogues about the suspicions and claims of atheists, and how to respond to them!
Karim and Waad take us on a complex journey of love with its two faces: the innocent and pure, and the selfish and tainted. They discuss love at first sight and the difference between love and friendship.
Uncle Ahmed takes us on his journey of blindness, showing us how love breathes new life into us and how he meets “Shamaa,” whose compassion replaces the sunlight.
Aunt Amna, doomed to die of cancer, takes us on a journey of faith that brings peace to everything with God! Rehan Al-Aqar takes us on a journey in search of maternal fulfillment, telling us that a person is defined by what he or she loses, not by what he or she possesses, and that what we lack will forever haunt us!
An unknown writer takes us on a journey around writing, its nature and mechanisms, and the capture of ideas and their transformation from abstract thought into concrete literature.
