Port Said Revisited

by Sylvia Modelski

A panoramic view of Port Said emerges from the blending of a childhood memoir of the 1930s with an appreciation of this well-known but ill-understood global city at the north head of the Suez Canal. The author revisits her birthplace and reflects on the changes she observes, and on a rich past of which most people are unaware.

I really enjoyed this book. Sylvia Modelski does a great job of explaining the history of the area as well as introducing us to the fascinating experiences of her childhood. Growing up at that time in history allowed Sylvia the opportunity to experience a unique and rich tapestry of cultures.
