'Glorious' Observer 'Amazing' Andre Aciman 'Masterly' Sunday Times
'Blistering' Financial Times General Alwany is a pious man who
loves his family. He also tortures and kills enemies of the state.
Under the regime of Hosni Mubarak, Egypt is gripped by cronyism,
religious hypocrisy, and the oppressive military. Now, however, the
regime faces its greatest crisis. The idealistic young from
different backgrounds - engineers, teachers, medical students, and
among them the general's daughter - have come together to challenge
the status quo. Euphoria mounts as Mubarak is toppled and love
blossoms across class divides, but can it last? 'Rooted in
first-hand experience, this searing account of the short-lived 2011
Egyptian revolution blends knockabout satire with real polemical
anger.' Daily Mail 'A powerful book in the vein of a great Russian
or South American social novel . . . Al Aswany is a writer of great
talent, a rare man whose courage is not merely literary.' Le Figaro
