A daring novel on the political turmoil in Egypt during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 and onwards. The protagonist is a middle-aged Coptic Christian woman who aspires to retrieve her family’s properties in the heart of Cairo. She marries a well-known religious clerk and converts to Islam, only to find that her husband is involved in the kidnapping of Coptic girls and forcing them to convert. This is the first and only novel to courageously discuss the political state of Egypt in detail, taking the revolution as its starting point. It then moves to when the Muslim Brotherhood took power, and up until the Egyptian security forces and army raided the camps of the protestors in Rabaa Square and al-Nahda Square. It also gives the reader a glimpse of the divisions between and within factions in the society, as well as the state of puzzlement in the national sentiment of the people. A bold novel that tells of sensitive aspects of the post-revolution era.
