En la Argelia de los años 30, Younes, un niño de nueve años, se ve separado de su familia cuando su padre, arruinado, decide confiarlo a su hermano farmacéutico en Orán. Allí, Younes se convierte en Jonas, creciendo entre jóvenes colonos y descubriendo una vida privilegiada. Sin embargo, la llegada de Émilie, una joven fascinante, perturba la armonía del grupo, dividiéndolos entre lealtad, egoísmo y rencor, mientras la guerra de la Independencia se cierne sobre ellos. Jonas se enfrenta a un conflicto interno entre sus lazos con sus amigos occidentales y su identidad argelina, poniendo en peligro el amor que siente por Émilie. Yasmina Khadra narra una historia apasionada y dolorosa sobre la doble cultura francoargelina, un valeroso testimonio de una época olvidada.
Mohammed Moulessehoul, better known by the pen name Yasmina Khadra, is an Algerian author living in France, who writes in French. One of the most famous Algerian novelists in the world, he has written almost 40 novels, and has published in more than 50 countries. Khadra has often explored Algerian and other Arab countries' civil wars, depicting Muslim conflicts and reality, the attraction of radical Islamism to those alienated by the incompetence and hypocrisy of politicians, and conflicts between East and West. In his several writings on the Algerian war, he has exposed the regime and the fundamentalist opposition as the joint guilty parties in the country's tragedy.
