    Spanning the Arab world, India and the United States, this family saga tells of the heart-stopping triumphs and failures of three generations of Arab women

    Sara is a philosophy professor at Kuwait University. Her relationship with Kuwait is complicated; it is a country she recognises less and less. Yet since her return from the States eleven years earlier, a certain inertia has kept her there. When she is accused of blasphemy, which carries with it the threat of execution, Sara realises she must reconcile her feelings and her place in the world once and for all.
    Awaiting trial, Sara retraces the past, intent on examining the lives of the women who made her. She conjures forth her grandmothers - beautiful and stubborn Yasmine, who marries the son of the Pasha of Basra and lives to regret it, and
    Lulwa, born poor in Kuwait and later swept off to India by her wealthy merchant husband.
    An Unlasting Home brings to life the triumphs and failures of three generations of Arab women. At once intimate and
    sweeping, personal and political, it is an unforgettable family portrait and a spellbinding epic tale.
