The republic of false truths / Alaa Al Aswany ; translated from the Arabic by S.R. Fellowes.
Cairo, 2011. Under the regime of Hosni Mubarak, Egypt is gripped by cronyism, religious hypocrisy, and the oppressive military. General Alwany is a pious man who loves his family. He also tortures and kills enemies of the state. Now, however, the regime faces its greatest crisis. The idealistic young from different backgrounds-- engineers, teachers, medical students, and among them the general's daughter-- have come together to challenge the status quo. As Mubarak is toppled love blossoms across class divides, but the general and his friends mount a devastating counter-attack. -- adapted from Goodreads info
