okay this took me so long to read and I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. I get that it was set in colonial Egypt but why did they have to cut out all of the chapters from a woman’s perspective by the end?? justice for the ladies of this book bc I missed them dearly… too many men and I only really liked one of them. also the switch from what was basically a domestic drama to the political turmoil of a revolution was pretty abrupt but it balanced out by the end
