Dr Zubeidi is a middle aged, middle class Iraqi who has spent much
of his adult life in the UK and who has become totally assimilated
in the culture and way of life of Britain. Married to an English
woman and with two adult sons, a "chance" meeting with a beautiful
Arab woman and his ensuing obsession with her eventually leads to
the destruction of his family, job and ultimately his self esteem.
In essence the story charts how a "mid-life crisis" driven by
complacency and familiarity can provide fertile psychological soil
for the seeds of infidelity to become implanted. Once germinated
the resulting visceral and passionate affair grows rapidly but
tragically is not as vigorous as it first appears and inevitably
withers. The final chapter reveals how the events that preceded it
may well have been predetermined. Interwoven in the tale of
destructive love are subsidiary themes covering medical malpractice
and racism with the Iraqi crisis always present in the background.
