Title: Same problems in living, just another spot on the globe
Review: This is the last book of the Cairo Tilogy,which should stand along side of Galsworthy's Forsyte Saga.As with any work that is squarely founded upon an extensive exposure and understanding of the human nature that is found throughout the world, the reader will find an Egyptian writer who sympathetically and deftly presents a family from the middle east, faced with the same problems that plagued English families throughout the victorian era and later.Throw in the problems of occupation by the British to further complicate a father's problems with educating and marrying his sons, and insurinng the happiness of his daughters through marriage to fiscally sound and loving men from backgrounds similar to his family's, and the reader will realize we're all the same the world over. I was sorry to reach the end of the last book, and I'm jealous of anyone who is about to read the Cairo Trilogy for the first time.
