Medhat is an orphaned boy who grows up shuttling between various
farming families in the beautiful province of Sharkia, east of the
Nile Delta. What was intended to be a brief visit for the
five-year-old to Ismailia, a beautiful and cosmopolitan city in the
Suez Canal zone, ends up being the beginning of a nomadic life no
one could have imagined. Medhats journey takes him across the many
landmarks of Egypt and beyond, all the way to Vienna where he
discovers that his feelings of displacement still haunt him to the
core. In a narrative that interweaves aspects of Egyptian folklore,
epic prose, and classical literature, the author skillfully
presents the conflict between the man in exile who reflects
longingly on his history and origins, and the village boy who
belonged nowhere.
