Description
This nostalgic memoir takes readers back to Egypt in the 1950s, a time when the country's Jewish community was thriving. Viviane Bowell shares her childhood memories of growing up in Cairo, describing the unique customs and traditions that defined this special community.
As she recounts her experiences, Bowell evokes the sights, sounds, and smells of everyday life in Egypt, from bustling streets to local festivals and celebrations. She also reflects on her own journey as a refugee, adapting to a new language, culture, and way of life in England.
This poignant and personal account offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era, one that is now largely lost to history. Bowell's story is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who have faced displacement and upheaval, and invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of identity, belonging, and community.
