Fatima loves poetry and wants to study French literature-both of
which are anathema to her strict and conservative much older
brother, Saqr. While living under his roof, Fatima's hopes and
dreams are scrutinized, mocked, and slowly crushed as she is forced
into his narrow vision of the right path. Then Fatima meets Isam, a
poet like her; they email love letters to each other and meet in
secret. Saqr, however, has other ideas: she is married off to
Faris, a complete stranger. He is not the cruel tyrant her brother
was, but still she did not choose him. Will she escape her past to
live the life of love and poetry she craves?
