The book is a recollection of the harrowing experiences of solitude during 49 days in captivity and the emotional ambivalence encompassing the journey through the Tigray terrain. It portrays a vivid picture of the changing faces of Ethiopia during three different regimes starting from the protagonist’s journey from Mumbai to Massawa.
It is a book revealing beautiful empty quarters charged with mystery of commitment and resilience creating a tapestry of human relationships. It demonstrates how the human mind can adapt to challenging circumstances when the situation is beyond your control.
