A review by jarvi_k
Palace Walk by Naguib Mahfouz

5.0

There‘s hardly anything on the dramatic events of 1919, the mess as described could happen on any political rally. Even though a „family“ saga, there‘s hardly any human present. Unless you count those robot-like creatures whose only operational mode and emotion is obedience and their language a religious mumbo-jumbo. Then there‘s a small clique of hyper-hypocritical topdogs. And yet it all is a very captivating read.
