A special place is there in the mind for the native land which cannot be removed or ignored. Three women in the novel return to the land where they had spent their early childhood. On this occasion, they return with a special purpose in their mind.
Laila Ibrahim told the audience about the struggle of different women in Yellow Crocus and the culture was also affecting the outcome of different results in that novel. This story starts by establishing a link with the previous novel. Lisbeth left her home because she was not satisfied with her life in that zone. She didn’t like the attitude of her father toward the slaves.

Now in a new place, Jordan is a teacher and Lisbeth is also doing well in her life. Suddenly Lisbeth hears that her father is dying so she goes back to meet her family one more time.
