In this collection of short stories Soueif’s often melancholy and frequently bittersweet prose revolves around clashes of culture and lost love. Every story centres on a female character and each of these suffer from a strong sense of loneliness or estrangement, despite their different homelands, problems and experiences. The tales are predominately set in Egypt or the United Kingdom, the sights and smells of Cairo coming alive through Soueif’s lyrical style. Reviewed by Dominique Kane.
