#readaroundtheworld #egypt A story of multiple romances and a murder told through the eyes of 4 separate character‘s narrations. Mahfouz, the Nobel Prize winning author, manages to give us a lens into these characters lives while reflecting the romance and betrayals of the Egyptian Revolution. However, Zohra, the strong willed and beautiful young woman who is at the center of the plot does not get her own narration. Alexandria sounds wonderful
