Examines the change in upper-class Egypt, from a staunch conservatism toward westernised liberalism at the turn of the 19th century. Following one family, this book describes how people lived, interreacted, and changed, often under the impetus of international events, and looks at the beliefs and traditions upon which their life was based.
