Summary
"Jabra's novel is a masterful exploration of the post-1948 Arab world, with its frustrations of yearning for homeland, and the struggle for survival. The action takes place on a ship cruising the Mediterranean - a closed environment, where seemingly unrelated characters can unravel their reasons for being there and their links with the others on board." --Book Jacket.
