Summary:
Three stories. One revolution. Eighteen days in Egypt.
Sami is no revolutionary. When the Arab Spring breaks out in 2011, hes busy finishing school in Cairo and hiding his relationship with an American woman from his conservative mother, Suad. Its a task thats becoming impossible as events take a catastrophic turn.
But Suad wont be fooledher son has been distant and she knows its not about politics. Far away in the Nile Delta, she spends her days tending obsessively to her lemon grove, which is quickly becoming her last vestige of control. The only child who remains by her side is her daughter, but as she, too, gets involved with the protests, Suad realizes it wont last for long.
Theres one person who knows exactly whats going on in the family, and she wishes she didnt. The maid, Jamila, already has too much to worry about as a refugee whos lobbying for resettlement, expecting a baby, and looking for her missing husband. All she wants is stability, and that her dreams wont be thwarted by the unrest sweeping a city she doesnt belong toa city that doesnt even want her there.
As the country revolts against the regime it has always known, Jamila, Sami, and Suad find themselves caught in the whirlwind as they examine their own life choices and, in some cases, deal with the inevitable heartbreak that follows when revolution is not always what it seems.
