Menorahs and Minarets

Meer over het boek

After ten years in Paris, Gala returns to Cairo, where he finds a society in transformation. Egypt is Galal's home, but he feels he no longer belongs there. He is caught between his two identities : his Jewish mother's family are cosmopolitan business people, while his Muslim father's side are rural farmers from the Delta. In this conclusion to Kamal Ruhayyim's compelling triology, he paints an uncompromising portrait of an older generation dictating how their children live and love. -- Provided by publisher.
