Playing Cards in Cairo - H. Miles
PLAYING CARDS IN CAIRO is a fly-on-the-wall account - like THE BOOKSELLER OF KABUL - of life (for western readers) in a strange and exotic environment. Twice a week he plays cards with a small group of Arab, Muslim women and through this medium he explores their lives in modern Cairo, the greatest of Arab cities. Hugh Miles lives in Cairo and is engaged to an Egyptian woman.
The book is a window onto a city - and a way of life - which is at a crucial juncture in its history. It is a secretive, romantic, often deprived but always soulful existence for the women as they struggle with abusive husbands and philandering boyfriends. Hugh Miles, who knows the Arab world intimately, is the perfect guide.
