Noma is deeply in love with a young man named Amos, but their relationship is forbidden by her father, who wants her to marry a wealthy man.As Noma struggles to come to terms with her feelings for Amos, she is also faced with the reality of living in a city under Roman occupation. She witnesses the cruelty and oppression of the Roman soldiers and the suffering of her fellow Jews. Noma also grapples with questions of faith and the meaning of life in the face of such hardship.Throughout the book, Mapu weaves together themes of love, faith, and political oppression.
