Deseo de ser egipcio

The book offers a vivid snapshot of Egypt’s social and political landscape. I'm curious what inspired the author to focus on these particular themes and settings.

The characters seem to embody both pride and frustration with their country. Did others feel this tug between love and disillusionment?

The narrative weaves individual lives with political upheaval, which made the story feel very layered. I wonder what guided the structuring of these elements.
