Book Description
================
This is a sweeping and evocative portrait of both a family and a country
struggling to move toward independence in a society that has resisted
change for centuries. Set against the backdrop of Britain's occupation
of Egypt immediately after World War I, Palace Walk introduces us to
the Al Jawad family. Ahmad, a middle-class shopkeeper runs his household
strictly according to the Qur'an while at night he explores the pleasures
of Cairo. A tyrant at home, Ahmad forces his gentle, oppressed wife
and two daughters to live cloistered lives behind the house's latticed
windows, while his three very different sons live in fear of his harsh
will.
