Her life won't be the same.Warning: Mature themes and content with much humor.'Like Elsheshtawy’s previous work, his methodological prowess is noteworthy … the presentation of evidence remains foundational [and] the plethora of images help readers visualize the city he describes, a city that many will likely never see'
