No One Sleeps in Alexandria by Ibrahim Abdel Meguid (1996, 1999 English translation)
Read: November 2008
This was the first ranslated Modern Arabic novel that I bought and I bought it in Alexandria on our first trip there. It follows the lives of two Egyptians; one a Copt and one a Muslim, at the time of the Second World War when they must leave Alexandria to work on the railway in El Alamain.
MORE REVIEW ON THE WAY! I loved this book!
