Description
Sex, money and politics are the driving forces of society in this new novel from the bestselling author of The Yacoubian Building. A medley of Egyptian and American lives collides on the campus of the University of Illinois Medical Center in a post-9/11 Chicago, and crises of identity abound. Among the players are an atheistic anti-establishment American professor, whose relationship with a younger African-American woman becomes a moving target for intolerance; a veiled Ph.D. candidate whose conviction in the code of her traditional upbringing is shaken by her exposure to American society; an emigre who has fervently embraced his new American identity, but who cannot escape his Egyptian roots when faced with the issue of his daughter's 'honour'; and a dissident student poet who comes to America with the sole aim of financing his literary aspirations, but whose experience in Chicago turns out to be more than he bargained for. Tightly plotted, this page-turner offers an unflinching examination of contemporary Egyptian lives. ‘The only Arabic-language novel to have created greater buzz and sell more copies since The Yacoubian Building.’ Financial Times.
