E. Jabbarova's new novel is a branching narrative where the plot lines initially seem unrelated, but ultimately converge. What does it mean to find a home, and what does it mean to lose it? How is a family history formed? What makes people feel closeness and kinship with one another? Grappling with these questions, the characters are in constant, intense motion – in a desperate attempt to escape the forces that seek to strip a person of their uniqueness.
