Events unfold, and life takes many turns. Sons grow up to become fathers, and grandchildren grow into young, vibrant young sticks. It’s a generational novel that the seasoned author Naguib Mahfouz has always mastered. It takes us through the corridors of the monarchy, the Wafdist regime, and the Muslim Brotherhood, and from there to the revolution, Nasserism, and endless wars. At the end of the journey, there is openness and victory, followed by a less than glamorous peace at Camp David. These are the events of the homeland, but with this novel, we follow them in the old house in Helwan. We see them in “Kawthar,” “Mohamed,” “Munira,” “Siham,” “Shafiq,” “Ali,” and “Saniya,” who witnessed all of this with a reassured eye and a heart that never forgot the home and its walls yearning for renewal and life. Will things settle down and will time allow for what her heart yearns for? Will there be an hour or more between them? Is there a synonymous relationship between home and homeland?
There’s only one hour left.
