Si al-Habib and Ilham get to know each other on Facebook, and their love story unfolds wholly in that virtual space: the novel is made of their chats and messages from first page to last. Both write under assumed names and keep their real identities veiled, and each keeps probing to discover who is on the other side of the screen. Both long to leave their real lives behind for an online life filled with love, and cling to it despite all the falseness around them.
