Set in Cairo, the novel portrays Ahmad Abd el-Gawwad, a man stern with his wife and children at home, but jovial, fond of wine and seductive in the neighborhood. His children Yasín, Jadiga, Fahmi, Aisha and Kamal grow up between fear and their own longings, under a hypocritical morality.

For readers of contemporary fiction seeking narrative set in Egypt and family stories with social tension.
Naguib Mahfouz Abdelaziz Ibrahim Ahmed Al-Basha was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature. In awarding the prize, the Swedish Academy described him as a writer "who, through works rich in nuance – now clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguous – has formed an Egyptian narrative art that applies to all mankind".
