Nuri is a young boy when his mother dies. It seems that nothing will fill the emptiness her strange death leaves behind in the Cairo apartment he shares with his father--until they meet Mona, sitting in her yellow swimsuit by the pool of the Magda Marina hotel. As soon as Nuri sees her, the rest of the world vanishes. But it is Nuri's father with whom Mona falls in love and whom she eventually marries. And their happiness consumes Nuri to the point where he wishes his father would disappear. Nuri will, however, soon regret what he's wished for. His father, long a dissident in exile from his homeland, is abducted under mysterious circumstances. And as the world that Nuri and his stepmother share is shattered by events beyond their control, they begin to realize how little they knew about the man they both loved.
