Two very different worlds collide

Author: Alaa Al Aswany

About the book:

The servants, a squabbling, humorous and deeply human group, live in a perpetual state of fear under the tyrannical rule of Alku.

When Abd el-Aziz Gaafar becomes the target of Alku’s cruelty and his pride gets the better of him, a devastating act sends ripples through his family.

Soon, the Gaafars are drawn into the turbulent politics of the club – both public and private – and servants and masters are subsumed by Egypt’s social upheaval.
