BROOKLYN HEIGHTS
Book ID/图书代码： 00440910B42298
English Summary/英文概要： The novel, described as “a novel of displacement and exile par excellence” by the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature judge’s panel, takes us from each character’s childhood in a patriarchal society, to the decision to leave their husbands and lives in the Middle East and North Africa in favour of a new life in the US. Each character struggles in her attempt to reconcile her religious and cultural past.
Told through the eyes of the Egyptian narrator, who draws parallels between her new life in America and her past in Egypt, the novel explores the relationship between the East and the West through the very humanistic stories of the characters. The novel runs the full gamut of elements that are intrinsic to a story of this nature – from fundamentalism to tolerance, from comfort to displacement.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 此部作品被纳吉布.马哈弗兹奖章评审员描述为“最无与伦比的关于移动和流离的小说”，引领我们从生活在宗教社会的每一个角色的童年时代出发，到做出决定离开中东和非洲，离开她们的丈夫和熟悉的生活，去美国寻找一种全新的生活状态。每一个角色都在为使得她们的现在与饱含宗教文化意味的过去达到一致而做着努力的尝试。 小说以一个埃及人的视角娓娓道来，勾勒出她在美国的和在埃及两种完全不同的生活状态。小说通过讲述人物角色的故事而探索了东方和西方之间的关系。从原教旨主义到容忍包容，从舒适安逸到流离移动，此部作品融入了此类故事所固有的所有元素。（兼职翻译FSF）
