Fascinating tapestry of life in Cairo
This wonderful book takes you into a family living in Cairo during the first World War when Egyptian Nationalism was beginning to blossom behind the scenes. The family is ruled by a tyrant father but nevertheless enjoys the full complement of births, marriages and, dramatically, deaths.

Great to re-read this wonderful book.
I reread this amazing book and got even more from it at every level - cultural, spiritual and historical. My only slight criticism, having heard it read by someone else as an RNIB talking book, is that the reader sometimes goes a little over the top involune and in long passages this can grow just a little tiresome. Perhaps a remastering could even the dynamics out just a bit. The second and third volumes lack something in comparison, and theexcellentBBC radio production is available, but it would still be worth Audible recording them .

Hard work!
I'm sure this is a great saga and as we are living in Cairo I thought it would be a perfect read, but it took so long to get going and I realised, about three hours in, that I really didn't care about the characters and definitely didn't need to finish book 1 let alone start book 2! This is only the second book I have not finished, but decided that life is too short to waste listening to stuff you are not enjoying.
