The novel spans the 1930s to the 1960s, covering the Algerian War of Independence. Younes’s personal debt begins when his impoverished family sends him to live with his wealthy uncle, a pharmacist in Oran. Here, he receives a French education, clothes, and status—a "day" of opportunity that directly emerges from the "night" of his rural poverty. Yet this debt is double-edged. To survive, Younes must erase his origins, hiding his Jewishness and rural roots.
