Features: A university student entangled in the love and hate of four men, manipulated by an indifferent fate and unable to extricate herself: a teacher-student romance that turns out to be an incestuous affair with her own father; returning to the vibrant path of youth, she begins a pure love but ends up breaking ties with her best friend; believing she has finally found a safe harbor, she discovers that the one she loves is there to avenge her father's death; forced into a swap marriage for family interests in a family business, she becomes a victim. She suspects she is a woman cursed, as she lives in a male-dominated society where neither love nor hate is free. The entire book is filled with female consciousness; with lyrical prose delivering sharp criticism, the plot is tight and deeply moving.
