"Simple yet enticing. The whim of the climax prepares you for something that only Mahfouz can deliver but Alas, your heart does not skip two beat, thus resulting in an emptiness which only an emotional pang could fill."
"Another bookclub read. I am not sure about this book. While it was Egyptian literature, it very well could have taken place anywhere. The plot is a very basic one regarding revenge. It was well written, but it read like many other novels. I am not sure why this was the big read - it didn't really give me any insight to the culture."
