Description

Ahdaf Soueif was born and raised in Cairo. When the Egyptian revolution erupted on January 25, 2011, she, along with hundreds of thousands of others, made Tahrir Square her home for eighteen days. She sent reports for international media and – like every fellow citizen – did whatever she could.

In this unique book, she guides us through her beloved city and traces the journey of the revolution that redefines the future of her country. Weaving together private and public stories, Soueif shares an extraordinary moment in History that is very much her own and simultaneously collectively Egyptian.

“…However, we were given, we were granted eighteen golden days. Eighteen days where we all worked together to rid ourselves of the leader of the regime that was destroying us, our country, and everything we loved. Eighteen days that brought out the best in us and showed us not only what we could do, but also how we could be…”

Ahdaf Soueif

I am not unique. But Cairo is. Its streets, the Nile, its houses and monuments whisper into the ear of every citizen of this city who participates in the events that, at the moment I write, shape our lives and the future of our children. They whisper to us, pull us by the sleeve and say: "You were born here, here a man, a boy, once first touched your hand, here you learned to drive, here you saw a picture in your schoolbook of Orabi submitting to Khedive Tewfik, and here your mother says she stood in ’51 with your father watching the fire conquer Cairo." The city brings its lips to our ear, wraps its arms around ours and pulls us close, so that we can feel its heartbeat, smell its scent, and unite with it.
