Excellent description of middle class class life in Cairo, Egypt, prior to, and after the revolution which ousted the King and replaced him with a Military Junta, that eventually turned on the middle class and especially the Jews. This is the story of a Jewish family, and especially the rather flamboyant father, who, while fervently religious, identifies as an Egyptian (speaking perfect Arabic), and has all the trappings of Egyptian middle class culture. Then the revolution occurs (1952). Not much changes until the Suez war with Israel (and England and France, 1956). The Jews of Egypt are forced to emigrate in droves (though never physically threatened). The book follows the family's heart wrenching departure, then their tribulations as they seek asylum in the US. Finally as they settle in New York, the book vividly describes the culture shock experienced by the older generation and the far easier adaptation of the teenagers. The author, who is the youngest child of this family, writes with sensitivity and an easy to read style.
One of the best books I have ever read. Thoroughly enjoyable! Highly recommend it! It's a fascinating story of her Egyptian Jewish family's exodus from Egypt, and other Egyptian Jews, after Egypt ceased to be a British colony and gained its independence in 1952. The book is interesting on so many levels. Historically, it describes what Cairo was like in the 1940's and 50's, what it was like during World War 2, and briefly touches on why and how Hitler and Mussolini lost the battlefront of North Africa to the Allied forces. It also has thoughtful, keen observations on cultural distinctives of the East and the West, and through the story you get a picture of the cultural adjustments that immigrants from the East face and make when they move to the West. It also paints a picture of what it is like to be parent from the East, raising kids in the West, and what it's like to be a child in the West, growing up with parents who are immigrants from the East. My Egyptian friends will particularly like it, but also, like Fiddler on the Roof, the story has a broad appeal beyond its immediate context, and many can relate to it.It is so eloquently written, that reading paragraph after paragraph, is like listening to a beautifully composed piece of music. If you love a good book you'll love this one!
Carefully written and thoroughly researched as well as engaging. A sad tale of riches to rags and not back again. Her father lived according to the respected way price as if he was the patriarch in Jewish Aleppo. Instead he lives and loves in Cairo until the oppression by Nasser forces the father to leave. Bensonhurst Brooklyn is no substitute for elegant 1940s Cairo. Her father's way of life is left behind and the family struggles in the Goldine Medina - where streets are paved with gold. Not. The family is fractured and the traditional structure and values crumble.
Important. Interesting. Well told. First we learn that the "man in the White Sharkskin suit" takes his Aleppo Syrian Jewish tradition tocosmopolitan Cairo which he adopted as his dream town. Life there with his family is good. His ways of life are tolerated. Secondly welearnt how hard it was to get to the United States, when after world War ll Jews were undesirable in Egypt. It was an almost year long, arduous and degrading process till he and his family received the immigration permits in Paris. Then: the Welcome in the NEW World was limited and short lived. Like the majority of immigrants with no help from already adapted families, the gentleman from Cairo sought refuge in a Jewish neighborhood where he could find the food he was used to, even the ground floor apartment and the temple needed according to his Aleppo Jewish version.Like many, he and his wife remained immigrants while his sons and worse his oldest daughter moved out. Lesson: only the second generations merge,and like the youngest daughter, who told us this fascinating story of many, but, in this case ,highly individual story, succeed.She became an American. But going back to Cairo, where she wanted to revisit the dream city of her beloved father, she did not find it. It had changed.
Beautifully told memoir of the decline of a man-about-town in mid-50s Cairo. Narrated by his daughter, it's a tale of how immigration to the US doesn't always work out. This is a cultural odyssey of Jews in Egypt; a vast and achingly poignant story - I loved it!The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit: A Jewish Family's Exodus from Old Cairo to the New World (P.S.)
The book gave me an insider's view of immigration and its challenges for families. I didn't know much about Cairo pre Nasser, and I really enjoyed getting this perspective on the area. The family forced to immigrate was wealthy and lived a life of privilege in Egypt, but more importantly, the reader gets a glimpse of how it is to live with close family ties and ancient traditions as well. Their rough transition to America was not necessarily their much lower standard of living but the loss of family (nuclear and extended) and the traditions that bind them to a larger community. When I read about or hear about this area on the news, I can picture more than war and terrorists; I can see families and culture.
