The Gales of Alexandria by Ehab Elgammal
A fallen son. A haunted father. A reckoning awaits.
A family saga about how extremes pull us apart—and the ties that bind us together.
An intricate look at the precarious relationship between faith, politics, and their potent effects on people… A graceful nuance.
A painful picture of a lost young man striving to make his life mean something, at any cost.
Deeply felt and richly detailed … A sobering tale of complex politics and histories.
Fast-paced like a thriller and culturally complex like Arundhati Roy’s Booker Prize winning The God of Small Things.
