Stones Of Bobello Format: Paperback

Set in the small town called Tarrana in the Nile Delta in the 1930s, Stones of Bobello revolves around nine episodes in the life of a sensitive young Christian boy--a montage of philosophical, mythical, and psychological perspectives--that highlights the struggle between polarities of man and woman, Copt and Muslim, dreams and reality. Told in a lyrical language that rarefies the most ordinary, mundane events, and brings startlingly to life the torpid climate of the Egyptian Delta, this novel allows for moments of erotic fantasy as well as an imaginative space where dreams and memories can flourish.
