“In this magical-realist literary novel, Amar sits down to have coffee with their rapist. They want to find a way to justice and healing. This is impossible to do alone, so they call on the voices of Middle Eastern women and queer people to help them, from Babylonian goddesses to medieval Arab lesbians. As they navigate mental health struggles, romance, trade union strikes, and the internet, Amar has to face their past, bring their allies and enemies together, and act swiftly to create a better future.” From the Introduction
