In the vibrant Cairo of the 1980s, a young doctor's path seems predetermined. Under the watchful eyes of his family, Tarek continues to run his late father's prestigious practice. When he opens a clinic in a poor neighborhood, it feels like a liberation. There he meets Ali, a young man from the area. Their friendship is as surprising as it is uncompromising. How can someone who has so little give so much to him, who seems to have everything? A wind of freedom will shake Tarek's certainties and turn his life upside down. In his multi-award-winning novel, Éric Chacour tells a moving and profound story of a fractured society, the secrets of a family, and a man searching for his truth. Already a modern classic.
