Description

Alexandrian Summer is a powerful novel that explores the tensions and contradictions of life in Alexandria just before its Jewish community fled Egypt for Israel in 1951. The story is set against the backdrop of a cosmopolitan social whirl, where conventions are laid bare to reveal startling sexual hypocrisies.

The novel portrays a now vanished world of horse-racing, seaside promenades, and elegant night clubs, exposing the complexities of the Egyptian upper-middle class. Through its vivid characters and lush descriptions, Alexandrian Summer offers a profound literary experience that shines a light on a forgotten era.
