When Mia saw Ali bin Khalaf, he had spent years in London studying and returned without a degree. But seeing him shocked Mia immediately. He was so tall that he touched a rushing cloud that had passed through the sky, and so thin that Mia wanted to support him from the wind that carried the cloud away. He was noble. He was a saint. He was not one of those ordinary people who sweat, sleep, and curse. "I swear to you, my Lord, that I only want to see him again." A novel from the Sultanate of Oman that deals with the transformations of the past and present, and combines, in elegant language, the tragedies of people who lack nothing and the tragedies of others who lack everything.
