February 1946: Cairo is engulfed by demonstrations against the British.
Layla's older brother Mahmud returns, wounded in the clashes, and the events of that fateful day mark a turning point in her life, an awakening to the world around her.
Latifa al-Zayyat's acclaimed modern classic follows Layla through her sexual and political coming of age.
Her rebellious spirit seeks to free itself from the stifling social codes that dictate a young woman's life, just as Egypt struggles to shake off the yoke of imperialist rule.
