From Jeddah to Asmara, from Al-Nazlah to Khatmiyah, from one shore of the Red Sea to the other, the dualities unfold in this novel, which won the Sharjah Award for Creativity. "Omar," the protagonist of the story, moves from Jeddah, a city that grew in his very being, to Asmara, Massawa, Keren, and other cities of the postponed homeland, searching for himself. He meets Samrawit, an Eritrean girl coming from her Parisian exile, and together, they embark on a shared quest for the dream homeland.

Dawoud is on the run from his murky past, aiming to discover where he belongs. He tries to assimilate into different groups along his journey through North Africa and Israel, changing his clothes, his religious affiliations, and even his name to fit in, but the safety and peace he seeks remain elusive. It seems prejudice is everywhere, holding him back, when all he really wants is to create a simple life he can call his own. A chameleon, Dawoud—or David, Adal, or Dawit, depending on where and when you meet him—is not lost in this whirl of identities. In fact, he is defined by it.
