Hauptbeschreibung

Bahiah Shaheen, an eighteen-year-old medical student and the daughter of a prominent Egyptian public official, finds the male students in her class coarse and alien. Her father, too, seems to belong to a race apart.
Frustrated by her hard-working, well-behaved, middle-class public persona, her meeting with a stranger at a gallery one day sparks her journey of self-discovery and of the realisation that fulfilment in life is indeed possible.
