In the harsh world of the Taliban regime, love and sacrifice are tested to the limit. When the rules of society are turned upside down, the consequences can be devastating. For Mosheen and Zunaira, a young couple from wealthy families, the loss of their parents and their own freedom is a crushing blow. Their lives are now a struggle to survive, with every moment a potential threat to their happiness. Their stories become intertwined with those of two other characters, Atiq and Musarrat, who are struggling to cope with their own personal demons. As the boundaries between right and wrong are constantly blurred, the two couples find themselves drawn into a desperate game of survival. Will they be able to find a way to love and be loved in a world that seems determined to destroy them? This powerful novel is a testament to the human spirit's ability to persevere in the face of overwhelming adversity.
