Apricots in the Nile
Colette Rossant
This is book with recipes and is the story of an Egyptian
childhood. The author is brought up by her grandparents when her
father dies and her mother is unable to cope. It appears to be an
idyllic childhood, but is really rather sad as it's clear she has
been abandoned by her mother. There is no self-analysis; 40 years
after the event, she has not looked at herself.
