This novel reimagines the legendary relationship between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon within a contemporary setting shaped by displacement and migration. The narrative follows Bos Mutas, a writer traveling from South America to northern Africa, whose research into the Queen of Sheba's legacy leads him through historical texts, artistic traditions, and present-day refugee communities. As Bos explores interpretations of the Queen as a figure of independence and influence, he encounters women whose lives reflect enduring themes of resilience and creativity, including a Somali midwife who guides him during his journey. The novel weaves together myth, history, and modern experience to examine the persistence of stories and their impact across time and place.
