Book Synopsis

Review Quotes

Serageldin's richly observed study of family and culture in transition and crisis succeeds both as ironical Proustian reminiscence and as a telling exploration of the ambiguities of status, loyalty, and belonging.-- "Kirkus Reviews"

Using a beautiful prose style, Serageldin makes Gigi's problems vivid and real... Fascinating and entertaining.-- "Library Journal"
