When throngs of Egyptians gathered in Tahrir Square to demand the fall of Hosni Mubaraks regime, Ahdaf Soueifauthor, journalist, lifelong progressivewas among them. Now, in this deeply personal work, Soueif summons her storytelling talents to trace her citysand nationsongoing transformation.She writes of the youth who led the revolts, and of the jubilation in the streets at Mubaraks departure. We then watch as Egyptians fight for democracy, as the interim military government throws up obstacles at every step, and as an Islamist is voted into power. Against this stormy backdrop, Soueif casts memories of her own Cairothe openair cinema; her familys land, in sight of the pyramidsand affirms the beauty of this ancient city. Soueif's postscript considers Egypts more recent turns in its difficult but deeply inspiring path toward its great human aims.
