A Cloudy Day on the Western Shore - Middle East Literature In Translation
Mohamed Mansi Qandil
Shortlisted for the Arabic Booker Prize, this novel traces the turbulent life of Aisha, an Egyptian girl raised in a Christian convent. Part allegory, part magical realism, the novel is threaded with aspects of Egyptian antiquity, including accounts of the excavations of ancient Egyptian relics and the tortured jealousies that accompanied them.
