The map of love / Ahdaf Soueif 

Public ISBD Titre : The map of love Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ahdaf Soueif, Auteur Editeur : Bloomsbury Année de publication : 2000 Importance : 529p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7475-4563-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Roman Mots-clés : Egypt, love story Index. décimale : M-4.1 Romans, nouvelles et récits Résumé : Lady Anna Winterbourne, an English widow, arrives in British-occupied Cairo in 1900. Fascinated by Egyptian culture, Anna bridles at the prejudices and parochial attitudes of the colonial community and follows her sense of curiosity to places few Europeans venture. During one disastrous secret outing, she meets and falls in love with Sharif Basha-al-Baroudi, a fierce Arab nationalist. He in turn falls in love with her, and against their better judgment, they marry. In a world where politics and personal relationships are inextricably intertwined, the choices Anna and Sharif make have profound repercussions not only in their own lives but in the lives of their descendants. Isabel Parkman, Anna's great-granddaughter, is a young American divorcée irresistibly drawn to Omar-al-Ghamrawi, a renowned Egyptian musician living in New York. Hoping to find keys to understanding him, Isabel travels to Omar's homeland, taking with her an old truck full of papers she inherited from Anna. In Cairo, Isabel and Omar's sister, Amal, unwrap Anna's treasures and discover an unsuspected blood link between their families: Amid Anna's diaries and letters and newspapers crackling with age is a notebook written in Amal's grandmother's hand recounting the story of her brother, Sharif, and the Englishwoman he loved. As Anna's experiences during the first decades of the century and Isabel's contemporary quest unfold in counterpoint, the politics that divide two cultures and the passions that bring lovers together resound across time and space.

I think of you / Ahdaf Soueif 

Public ISBD Titre : I think of you Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ahdaf Soueif, Auteur Editeur : Ankor Books Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 182 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-307-27721-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Egalité femme/homme Index. décimale : A-1 Egalité et genre Résumé : In these selected stories from her collections "Aisha" and "Sandpiper", Ahdaf Soueif writes about love and displacement in prose that is delicately nuanced and acutely observed. These are achingly lyrical stories, resonant and richly woven. But they always retain an edginess as they explore areas of tension - where women and men are ensnared by cultural and social mores and prescribed notions of 'love', where the place you are is not the place you want to be. She delivers her characters with infinite tenderness and compassion as they inhabit a world of lost opportunities, unfulfilled love and remembrance of times past.
