Description
A sweeping and evocative portrait of a family struggling to move towards independence in a society resistant to change, Palace Walk is set against the backdrop of Britain's occupation of Egypt immediately after World War I. The story introduces us to a middle-class family, where the strict rules of the Qur'an govern daily life, while the night brings a different story of exploration and pleasure. Through the Al Jawad family, Naguib Mahfouz explores the complexities of family life, cultural heritage, and the tensions between tradition and modernity.
