Cairo: Memoir of a City Transformed by Ahdaf Soueif

5.0

This book is beautiful and wonderful on so many levels it beggars belief. I shook with rage and cried angry tears as events unfolded in Egypt, a country so far from me. The writing and narration is powerful and it's impossible to not be swept up in the events the author describes. The writing made me want to visit every single place described in the book and that's definitely on my bucket list now. I never even had a bucket list before so the book's impact is enormous, as you can see.
