Summary Mariam and Khalil are deeply enmeshed in the 2011 uprising in Tahir Square during the Egyptian revolution. As regimes crumble and the country shatters into ideological extremes, their commitment to the ideals of revolution and to each other is put to the test. From the communal highs of pitched night battles against the police in Cairo to the solitary lows of defeated exile in New York, The City Always Wins is a novel not just about Egypt's revolution but about a global generation that tried to change the world.
"A first novel that captures the experience of the Egyptian revolution like no news report could, and follows the lives of several characters as the movement evolves"-- Provided by publisher.
