PDL's International Mystery Book Group discussion

Nayir feels obligated to find Nouf as a favor to his friend Othman, and to the Shrawi family, which has been very good to him. What deeper meaning does the search for Nouf have for Nayir?

I felt he was not completely satisfied with his job as a guide and he is trying to find his place in the world as well as finding out what happened to Nouf.

I think you're right about that! Nayir considering the course of his life was definitely a thread throughout the story.
