Over seven decades, from 1940 to 2010, the pieds-noirs Cassars live in an itinerant state—separated in the chaos of World War II, running from a complicated colonial homeland, and, after Algerian independence, without a homeland at all.

Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion....
