A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Samia Serageldin was born in Cairo, Egypt, around the time of the 1952 Revolution, to politically prominent family of large landowners much like the clan depicted in her autobiographical novel, The Cairo House. At the age of twenty she married and left for England where she studied for her Master in Politics at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. In 1980 she immigrated to the United States, and has lived in Michigan, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. Over the years she has worked as an interpreter for an international organization, a professor of French and of Arabic, a freelance writer, and a book columnist. The Cairo House is her first novel; her short fiction has appeared in several anthologies, as well as essays on Islam and women’s issues. She is also in regular demand as a public speaker on current events in various academic and other forums. She has two grown sons on two different continents and family on a third, good excuses to divide her time among Chapel Hill, London, and Cairo.
