Konu: Athena, yani
gerçek adıyla Şirin Halil ya da diğer adıyla Aya Sofya, inandığı şeylerin
peşinden giden, içinde ki boşlukları doldurmak için elinden gelen her şeyi
yapan (dans etmek, çocuk doğurmak, hat sanatını öğrenmek, arazi satışı yapmak
gibi) bir kadındır. Ama hep içinde bir şeylerin eksik olduğunu hissetmiştir.
Bunun için hep daha ileriye gitmiştir. Edda'nın dediği gibi: Athena'nın en
büyük sorunu, 21.yüzyılda yaşayan bir 22. yüzyıl kadını olması ve bu gerçeği
hiç gizlememesiydi. Bir bedel ödedi mi? Kuşkusuz, ödedi. Ama coşkuyla taşan
gerçek benliğini bastırsaydı, çok daha büyük bir bedel ödeyecekti. (Tanıtım
Bülteninden)

Plot: As the book begins, Athena is dead. How
she ended up that way creates the intrigue sustaining the book. The child,
Sherine Khalil renames herself Athena after her uncle was discussing with her
mother on how her real name will betray her origins and something like Athena
gave nothing away. As a child, she shows a strong religious vocation and
reports seeing angels and saints, which both impresses and worries her parents.
She goes into a London University to
pursue Engineering at the age of 19 but it's not what her heart wanted. One day
she just decides that she wanted to drop out of college, get married and have a
baby. Here, the author mentions that this might be due to the fact that she was
abandoned herself and wants to give all that love she could to her child which
she didn't receive from her birth mother. Two years later, her marriage falls
apart because they are facing too many problems due to their young age and lack
of money or mostly because he felt that she loved only the child and used him
to get what she wanted. A very interesting quote she uses is "From Ancient
Greece on, the people who returned from battle were either dead on their
shields or stronger, despite or because of their scars. It's better that way:
I've lived on a battlefield since I was born, but I'm still alive and I don't
need anyone to protect me." She grows into a woman in search of answers to
many questions that arise within a person. She had a life which many felt was
content because she had a child of her own, money, and friends; everything but
her mind was at peace, so she searches for the answer to the classical question
of "Who am I?" through many experiences. In her quest, she opens her
heart to intoxicating powers of mother and becomes a controversial spiritual
leader in London. (http://www.wiki-zero.net/index.php?The

Athena whose adoptive parents take her home to Lebanon from Romania. Her

Athena to set out on a journey of self discovery and in search of her birth
mother. Athena feels that once she finds her, her desire for a deeper

struggles in her relationship with Samira, her adoptive mother who can not
