Description
Out of Egypt tells the story of André Aciman's Sephardic Jewish family, from their arrival in Egypt at the turn of the century to their forced departure three generations later. This beautifully-written memoir chronicles childhood innocence, intricate family life and the pain of exile from a place one loves.
The book bridges cultures and generations, providing a moving portrait of a by-gone world. Elegant and witty, it is a poignant exploration of identity, belonging and the complexities of family history.
