The novel is set at the beginning of the 20th century in the city of Beirut and introduces us to Selma Karamy, a young woman who is going to marry the nephew of a very prominent religious in the community.
The protagonist falls in love with this girl and is reciprocated, so they see each other in secret. On one occasion they are discovered and Selma is forbidden to leave the house, so the relationship becomes impossible.

The best The Broken Wings quotes
One small crack does not mean you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn't fall apart.
The appearance of things changes according to the emotions; and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
