A book that takes you closer to the social fabric of life in Cairo into people s homes and sensibilities in the neighborhood of Al Zawya Al Hamra A great attempt to make sense of the diverse mosiac that is life in Cairo.
Somehow feels too sweeping, but it s thought provoking The conclusion is particularly cool.
