The Girl with Braided Hair was longlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (the “Arabic Booker”) under the title, Passion
Based on actual historical events – Napoleon’s 1798 campaign in Egypt and his relationship with a young, local girl, Zeinab Bakry
Accessible writing, plot-driven narrative that is both set in the past and modern day
Strong female characters exploring what is means to be a woman and to live passionately in both historical and present-day Cairo
Books on the art world have great appeal such as Siri Hustvedt’s The Blazing World, B.A. Shapiro’s The Muralist, and, of course, similar to The Girl with the Pearl Earring, this follows the life of the girl behind a painting
Yasmin, Zainab, and other characters in their orbit, are on journeys in search of a sense of personal freedom, personal and artistic passion and inspiration; and their stories and motivations cross cultural, gender, and historical boundaries
