More about the book
The narrative unfolds a passionate yet tragic relationship between Mali and Farid against the backdrop of the decline of Egyptian-Lebanese society from the 1960s to the late '80s. Rich in character and complexity, it explores themes of social conventions, religious divisions, and cultural clichés, highlighting the tensions between East and West. Through a fragmented narrative and multiple voices, the author examines memory, language, and the impact of war, all while vividly portraying the intellectual landscapes of Beirut and urban life in Cairo, Paris, and London.
