Sugar Street

Naguib Mahfouz · 1957 CE · Novel · Arabic · Contemporary

The 1930s and 40s reach the grandsons: Khadija's two boys at university, one gone to the Muslim Brothers and one to the communists, both writing for papers that get them watched. Kamal teaches English and drinks, settled into the scepticism the middle volume left him, and the old man who ruled the family can no longer manage the stairs. The closing volume of the Cairo Trilogy, carrying the household to the eve of the Free Officers.
