Book Launch: Cocktails and Camels at the BA
Posted on
Alexandria—The BA Alexandria and Mediterranean Research Center is organizing on Thursday, 19 March 2009 a launch of the book Cocktails and Camels, by Jacqueline Carol.
The book is a lively and humorous portrait of a family of Lebanese origins living in the heyday of cosmopolitan Alexandria during the 1930s and 1940s.
In these pages, the reader discovers the heroine’s extensive family of cousins, aunts and uncles, and sees a vivid picture of a Mediterranean lifestyle typical of interwar Alexandria. Throughout the book, the author wittily evokes the diversity of cultures in a thousand small details that make this book a delightful read from beginning to end.
The Book Launch will take place in the BACC Lectures Hall at 7:00 pm.
