An Unlasting Home

How do you belong to a country you have spent your life wanting to leave? In Kuwait, philosophy professor Sara faces the threat of execution after being accused of blasphemy for teaching Nietzsche. As she awaits trial, she revisits the lives of the women who shaped her: two grandmothers and two mothers whose stories stretch across Kuwait, Iraq, India, Lebanon, and the United States. Spanning nearly a century of upheaval, migration, and changing social expectations, this sweeping family saga explores the complicated ties between women, their homeland, and the histories they inherit. Can Sara find a place for herself in a world where home can be both a refuge and a prison?
