A review by coriandercake
The Cairo Trilogy: Palace Walk, Palace of Desire, Sugar Street by Naguib Mahfouz
5.0
Execution: 5/5
Narrative: 5/5
Themes: 5/5 (including gender, generational tensions, nationalism, political struggle, hedonism, religion)
Enjoyment: 3/5 (the strictly political discussions were boring, didn't like reading about the men sleeping around although that was the point and one of the themes of the book)
Sugar Street is very tragic but that tragedy is built on the previous two books.
