Part memoir, part love letter to Egypt, to bookselling, to the family we form and the family we’re born with; Nadia Wassef chronicles her dream of setting up the Diwan bookstore branches in Cairo. Each chapter is a section of the store. Nadia and her partners Hind and Nihal three women who battled red tape, censorship and the ever looming patriarchy, with grit, grace, guile and -in Nadia’s case- more than a few swear words!
