The Last Watchman of Old Cairo - 4.5 stars by Michael David Lukas

[Amy]

4.5 stars. I really super enjoyed this read about a half Jewish half Muslim, 100% Egyptian young man who is the son of the Last Watchman of Old Cairo, a tradition spanning hundreds of years and centuries. Written from three perspectives in time, this gem of a book intertwines questions and situations and tensions from each time period that culminate in the mysteries of the present. So looking forward to hearing what others think about its interesting end. Just loved it!

Sounds interesting, Amy. I had not heard of this book and will have to put it on my (lengthy and growing) TBR. Thanks!
