During World War II, Anna, a Swiss circus artist, and Nasreddin, an Algerian, meet in Algiers. The war and later the struggles for independence separate the couple again and again, but their love story manages to survive the disasters and close with an almost fairy-tale ending.

For readers of historical fiction and romances that traverse war conflicts and independence processes.
