  abstract: Anne-Marie Drosso's collection of fourteen short stories guides us through the turbulence of Egyptian modern history, from Gamal Abdel Nasser's early days of glory to Abdel Fatah el- Sisi's recent assumption of power. Each story weaves a tapestry of hope, crisis and despair illustrated by an array of characters trying to make sense of their lives in the face of social change and political turmoil. Drosso fictionalises potent segments of time from the mid-20th century onwards, revisiting illuminative figures from and affiliated with the 'Cradle of Civilization'. While politics sets the stage for the stories, the personal is at their heart, with Egypt ever present in each of them.
