Second time reading

Beautifully narrated. This masterpiece of writing articulates with psychological insight the cultural complexities of traditional Moslem society. Thoughtful and non judgmental; guiding us to a much deeper understanding challenges us to our own biases. Brings you to Cairo and keeps you there. My favourite place to contemplate.
