This is a true story. Although all of the characters are real, their names have been changed to protect their privacy. The only real names used in the book are Sheikh Zayed, the former president of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu Dhabi, now deceased; Iqbal Hussain, the artist who paints portraits of the women of Heera Mandi; and Tariq Anayaat, the sweeper.
