When the FBI comes knocking on his door, hes convinced its a case of mistaken identity--until they show him a picture of his cousin Amir. Amir has perpetrated a horrific attack and Sheero is suddenly forced to return to Cairo and confront the events that led to their wildly different circumstances.
While Amir wore Sheeros hand-me-downs and suffered at the hands of neglectful, abusive parents, Sheero attended Cairos most prestigious high school, where he and his best friend Taymour, the son of one of Cairos business moguls, could enjoy sports clubs, beach vacations, high-end dining, and socializing with girls from the French and British schools. Once inseparable cousins, Sheero and Amir grew further apart, Amir ultimately having more in common with the children of Taymours housekeeper: Omar, Mustafa, and Zeina.
In Cairo Circles, the lives of this unforgettable group of six young Egyptians intertwine dramatically over the course of over a decade, revealing complex relationships dominated by faith, tradition, social class, and the boundaries of personal freedom. An epic, multi-perspective page-turner, Doma Mahmouds debut introduces readers to a bold and inventive new voice in fiction as Cairos streets burst to life on the page.
