Book review – The Yacoubian Building by Alaa Al Aswany

Set mainly in a once-stylish building in Cairo, this book is about the lives of people whose fates gradually intertwine. The story doesn’t show any of them in a good light but despite that, the reader is sympathetic and drawn in because of the fate dealt to them by Egypt’s corrupt and cruel regime.

It is a society dominated by sex, money, power and religion, all dealt with sensitively. The hardest bit was remembering who was who but there is a ‘cast of characters’ at the beginning to help with the Egyptian names.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish
