#ThrowbackThursday. The Map of Love

 

Soueif, Ahdaf "The Map of Love" - 1999

I have read this book a couple of times.

A story about the history of Egypt, a family saga and a couple of love stories over several decades.

This book describes British Colonialism, Egyptian nationalism and the difference between the two people both a hundred years ago and today.

  1. I do love reading books set in Egypt. This sounds like a really good one.

    1. I like books about Egypt, too. This is a more modern take and totally interesting. Have you read anything by Naguib Mahfouz. If not, he is one of the best.

  2. I think I read this some years ago, and loved it.

    1. I have read more books by the author afterwards, Lisbeth. I think that shows how much I liked it.
