A young woman's story of family, love, and revolution in modern Cairo
As a child, Nadia was left with her grandparents in Egypt, while her mother sought work in the Gulf.

Her activist father, the sole anchor in her life, encourages her to be a part of the protests and so Nadia joins the sit-in at Tahrir Square.Donia Kamal's succinct, candid prose draw us into Nadia's world: from the private to the public; from the men she has loved and lost, to her participation in the momentous events of the Egyptian revolution.
