Zeba's peaceful life finds an end when her husband Kamal is found brutally in the backyard. Zeba stands next to him, blood-pollinated. About what has happened, she does not lose a dying word. Is the triple mother really a cold-blooded killer? Her lawyer Yusuf, an ambitious young man with American graduation, is convinced of her innocence. But he cannot prove her as long as Zeba does not entrust him all the truth. "A political commentary on Afghanistan's culture and * system. This novel tells far more than the story of a judged woman."
