Olivia had always heard stories about Algeria from her maternal grandmother, a Black Foot (a "Pied-Noir," the French term for Christian and Jewish settlers of French Algeria who emigrated to France after the Algerian War of Independence).
Now, ten years later, she resolves to travel to Algeria and experience the country for herself; she arrives alone, with her grandmother\'s post.
After her grandmother\'s death, Olivia found some of her grandmother\'s journals and letters describing her homeland.
