- Summary
- "Nada is no stranger to protest. She is five years old when her French mother takes her to visit her Egyptian father, a political activist with a passing resemblance to president Nasser, in prison. When he returns home a changed man, their family begins to fracture and eventually Nada's mother moves back to Paris. Through her teenage years Nada is surrounded by the language of protest -- 'anarchism', 'Trotskyism', 'communism'. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Through student sit-ins, imprisonments, passionate arguments, accidental alliances, fallen friends, loves, joys and regrets, Nada's story interweaves with that of Egypt's many celebrated activists such as Arwa and Siham" -- Dust jacket flap.
