Playing Cards In Cairo – Hugh Miles Rechtstreeks Van De Fabrikant

Hugh Miles, living it up in Cairo as a journalist and expat barfly, met and fell in love with Roda, who introduced him to the card game ’tarneeb’, to her all-female card circle, and to a previously unseen side of life in the Egyptian capital. ‘Playing Cards in Cairo’ is his sideways look at the lives of young Egyptians.
