This is an automatically translated description

The word "azhnabiya" is used in Arab countries to describe foreign women. Marina Hrymych's novel is set in contemporary Lebanon, known for its interfaith diversity, and echoes medieval Arabic stories from the Thousand and One Nights. The plot focuses on two Ukrainian Azhnabiyas - Pavlina, married to Ahmad, a Sunni, and Vira (affectionately called Virunchyk), the wife of Zhavvad, a Shiite. Pavlina undertakes to help Zhavvad find a way to understand his wife, but she suddenly disappears, and Ahmad, Zhavvad, Pavlina, and the mysterious Duruz Ziyad, who has suddenly joined the company, travel all over Lebanon in a red car in search of Virunchik.

The book is imbued with delicate humour that helps to imagine the specifics of interethnic marriages in the Middle East and reveal the secrets of interfaith and intercultural understanding.
