The final act in the drama of Elmer and Sevasti's uprooting, as well as their doomed love, now unfolds far from Cappadocia, in Greece, which welcomes the wave of refugees after the Treaty of Lausanne. At the same time, readers follow the wanderings of Omer, a Muslim from Western Macedonia, who, conversely, also found himself in Cappadocia due to the population exchange. The concept of homeland, identity, and the pursuit of personal happiness are crushed in the gears of History, in an epic novel that illuminates the events of the present.
