"Serageldin's richly observed study of family and culture in transition and crisis succeeds both as ironical Proustian reminiscence and as a telling exploration of the ambiguities of status, loyalty, and belonging."dashKirkus Reviews"Using a beautiful prose style, Serageldin makes Gigi's problems vivid and real... Fascinating and entertaining."dashLibrary Journal A work that depicts the glamorous Egypt of the pashas and King Farouk, the police state of the colonels who seized power in 1952, the post-Sadat years, and the rise of fundamentalism.
