Volume Three in The Cairo Trilogy, which brings the story of Al-Sayid Ahmad and his family up to the middle of the twentieth century.
Ageing and ill, the family patriarch surveys the world form his house's latticed balcony, as his long-suffering wife once did. While his children face middle age, it is through his grandsons that we see a modern Egypt emerging.
