Dalia Azim (April, 2022)

Get swept away by this multigenerational story centring around 17-year-old Halah Ibrahim in mid-century Cairo whose comfortable life gets turned upside down during the political revolution. She runs away to America with a young boy whom she barely knows resulting in far-reaching consequences. An illuminating fable about the steep human cost of loyalty, personal freedom, self-identity and the deep fissures caused by a nation’s changing landscape.
