Seven years ago, Carissa Spencer, having decided to marry her lover, seemed to be floating in heaven from this romantic and slightly adventurous step. She imagined the inevitable difficulties that could arise in the family of an American woman and an Egyptian man - a person of a completely different culture, but she believed that their great mutual feeling would help overcome all adversity. Alas, the bliss, contrary to her expectations, turned out to be short-lived... Was she wrong? Was she then completely blinded by love? Carissa always diligently avoided men who could take possession of her completely and interfere with her career as a sculptor, and when she met Asheris, in the first years of their marriage she experienced such complete happiness and such closeness that she gave herself to them without a trace. How she wished those days could come back! Will Carissa ever feel united with her handsome husband again? Or has their marriage lost all meaning?!
