Bahaa Taher (1935–2022)

I’ve read and enjoyed this contemporary Egyptian author before. This time, sad to say, not so much. Set in the early years of Nasser’s rule—with all of its false starts, corruption, and …… the book uses the vehicle of a “romance” to tell a deeper story about commitment, betrayal, ambition, temptation, hope and disillusionment. It might all work for you but this one just never managed to convince me, despite glimpses of a powerful message underneath.
