In God's Garden is a family saga. It spans the 1952 Revolution that ousted King Farouk and established the first republic in Egypt's seven thousand year history, as well as the three presidents who governed Egypt since: Gamal Abd al-Nasser, Anwar al-Sadat, and Hosni Mubarak. These times were turbulent. The story tells how a middle class family, occupied with day-to-day living, is pulled and tugged by shifts in policies. And what if the main character is a female coming of age in this conservative society that revolves around traditions and culture? What passions and worries rage within her? What dreams and hopes inspire her? Can she fulfill them? The story provides a window into her life and thoughts as they entangle with those of her family and society. The action-filled novel will interest students, scholars, and the literary public. Adolescent girls and women, in particular, will find Nadia's struggles exotically different yet familiar and poignant. The primary audiences for the novel are high school and college students, and adults enrolled in continuing education. It provides supplementary reading to curricula about Egypt, the Arab world, the Middle East, Middle Eastern women, and the Middle Eastern family. The general public will find it informative and enjoyable literary fiction.
