The Landlady
Dahab is Mustafa’s wife and the mother of Firas and Aya. She is tall and impatient with her husband’s meticulous nature when it comes to cooking. Dahab and Aya are sent to England while Mustafa and Firas remain in Syria. Firas’s death leaves her deeply depressed, and Mustafa hopes that reuniting with Nuri and Afra will lift her spirits.
