Cairo Circles is a novel that defies the notion that literature must choose between pleasure and substance. This captivating book will have you eagerly turning its pages, and in the process, it will transform you. Doma Mahmoud is a remarkable writer.
Sherif "Sheero" Abdallah, an NYU student, enjoys his independence, free from the judgmental eyes of his conservative family in Egypt. He indulges in various pleasures without fear of judgment. However, his world is turned upside down when the FBI arrives at his door, accusing him of a horrific attack. Initially, Sheero believes it to be a case of mistaken identity, but when they show him a picture of his cousin Amir, he realizes the gravity of the situation. Amir, who grew up wearing Sheero's hand-me-downs and facing neglect and abuse from his parents, has committed a heinous act. Sheero is compelled to return to Cairo, confronting the events that led to their vastly different circumstances.
While Amir struggled with the consequences of neglectful and abusive parents, Sheero had the privilege of attending Cairo's most prestigious high school. He enjoyed the benefits of sports clubs, beach vacations, fine dining, and socializing with girls from prestigious French and British schools. Once inseparable cousins, Sheero and Amir grew apart, with Amir finding more common ground with the children of Taymour's housekeeper, Omar, Mustafa, and Zeina.
In Cairo Circles, the lives of this unforgettable group of six young Egyptians intertwine dramatically over a span of over a decade. The novel explores complex relationships, dominated by faith, tradition, social class, and the boundaries of personal freedom. Doma Mahmoud's debut introduces readers to a bold and inventive new voice in fiction, as Cairo's streets come alive on the page.
