"This trilogy was so amazing-the character descriptions and life of the family, through three generations in Egypt. Just wow. One of the best (set of) books I've read in years!"
"My book club read Naguib Mahfouz's works for a whole year -- in fact,the year before 9/11. I am grateful to Mahfouz for introducing me through to literature into Arab and Muslim culture. The Palace Trilogy are the three most important books I've read in the past ten years. It sounds corny, but I could barely put them down."
"A fascinating chronicle of an Egyptian family in the 1920s and 30s - sometimes feels let down by its stilted translation, but still a great trilogy. The characters really stick with you."
