BECAUSE OF THE HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN EGYPT, MY NOVEL “FROM FEAST TO FAMINE” (PUBLISHED in AUG 2010 AS AN E-BOOK BY AMAZON www.amazon.com) WILL BE OFFERED FREE ON THE 6th - 8th OF SEPTEMBER.
From FEAST to FAMINE is the saga of a wealthy landowning Coptic family that spans the period from the end of the First World War through the 1952 Revolution (an era of great plenty and opulence in Egypt) to the fifties and sixties ending with the death of Nasser in 1970 (a period of military dictatorship, socialism and deprivation).
This novel will find resonance with readers who will be interested to understand how Egypt was transformed from a cosmopolitan country (where Greeks, Italians, Armenians, English, French, Muslims, Jews and Christians all lived together in harmony), a country with a vibrant economy and a democracy (a Parliament, opposition parties and governments with limited tenures) to sixty years of military dictatorship and then, finally, to the chaos the country is going through today.
