The novel is written in the form of a series of messages that Yaqoub writes to his wife from a clinic in the United States. Through these messages, the author reviews the feelings and reflections of the hero about his illness and loss of memory, touching on deep topics such as old age, loneliness, the importance of memories, and the internal struggle with forgetfulness. The novel is characterized by its intimate and transparent style, which directly touches the reader, making them empathize with the hero's suffering, and think about the fragility of human existence. This novel is considered a touching farewell from Ghazi Al Gosaibi to his readers, as he merges his philosophical ideas and reflections on life and death.
