The sensual and provocative second volume in the “Cairo Trilogy”, “Palace
Of Desire” follows the Al Jawad family into the awakening world of the
1920’s and the sometimes violent clash between Islamic ideals, personal
dreams and modern realities. Having given up his vices after his son’s
death, ageing patriarch Al-Sayyid Ahmad pursues an arousing lute-player
- only to find she has married his eldest son. His rebellious children
struggle to move beyond his domination as they test the loosening reins
of societal and parental control. And Ahmad’s youngest son, in an unforgettable
portrayal of unrequited love, ardently courts the sophisticated daughter
of a rich Europeanised family.
