Zohra, who was a nomad, had to stop her eternal wandering, her reason for living. Along with a part of her clan, she installed herself on the edge of a sand dune, on the frontier between two worlds where she becomes the narrator of the old times and the Bedouin tradition. Through this novel, a true love story to the women of the desert and sand, the recent history of a young nation begins to form itself. Between the war for independence and the todays terror, between liberation and fundamentalism, Algeria appears with its most real and novelistic face: feminine and plural.
