Long Answer
1. Gender plays a large role in this novel, as men and women experience migration differently. Even from the start, when Nadia is assaulted, it is clear that she is likely more at risk, especially in different settings where violence is normalized. Additionally, she eventually comes to be attracted to women, as with her friend in London and new partner in Marin. Furthermore, Saeed is reticent to admit that he and Nadia were having sex the whole time given his traditional upbringing. It isn’t until the end of the novel that he is willing to admit it. (Various chapters)
2. In some ways, technology is a form of magic that provides for refugees; in other ways, the magic of the doors remains inexplicable.
