Sonallah Ibrahim's 2000 masterpiece offers readers a view of
twentieth-century world events through the diary pages of his
titular character 1950s Cairo: the intersection of conflicting
dreams and political destinies. In this classic novel translated
for the first time into English, idealistic reporter Rushdy
encounters the enchanting Warda and her brother Yaarib at a
clandestine leftist meeting. Their fates would be forever linked.
Decades after Warda goes missing, Rushdy immerses himself in her
diaries in a quest to uncover her whereabouts. The search takes him
to the hills of Dhofar, Oman, where he discovers Warda's guerrilla
role in a regional uprising and secret involvement in revolutions
with echoes around the globe. Piece by revelatory piece, Rushdy
uncovers the truth about Warda-and the fiery commitment that drove
her to choose the life she lived. Widely acknowledged as a
masterpiece by one of Egypt's most important novelists, this is an
unforgettable story of intrigue, passion, and revolution.
