This is the third book in the Cairo Trilogy Series. By all means, do NOT try to read this book without having read Palace Walk and/or Palace of Desire FIRST--it would be like tuning in to a movie in the last half hour.
This book opens with the father and his wife in old age, in their 60's, their children in middle age, and the younger (third) generation entering their 20's. It continues the interesting saga. The book finishes shortly after both the father and his wife eventually die of old age.
This entire series is SLOW DRAMA (warning for those who like "action"), but one of the BEST pieces of literature I have ever read in my life. I have lived in the Middle East for over twelve years, and this entire series REALLY shows the Middle Eastern culture and way of thinking.
