”Violen har skrivit ett intressant inlägg om Hamidas roll i Midaqq-gränden och här är ett citat som jag tycker beskriver henne och hennes situation: “Late afternoon… The alley returned once more to that hour of murky shadows. Hamida set out, wrapping her cloak around her and listening to the clack of her shoes on the stairs as she made her way to the street.

Violen har skrivit ett intressant inlägg om Hamidas roll i Midaqq-gränden och här är ett citat som jag tycker beskriver henne och hennes situation: “Late afternoon… The alley returned once more to that hour of murky shadows. Hamida set out, wrapping her cloak around her and listening to the clack of her shoes on the stairs as she made her way to the street. She walked slowly, concious of both her gait and her appearance, for she was aware that four eyes were examining her closely. The eyes belonged to Salim Alwan, the company owner, and to Abbas, the barber. She was well aware of her attire; a faded cotton dress, an old cloak and shoes with timeworn soles. Nevertheless, she draped her cloak in such a way that it emphasized her ample hips and her full and rounded breasts. The cloak revealed her trim ankles, on which she wore a bangle; it also exposed her black hair and attractive bronze face. She was determined to take no notice of anything, simply to make her way from Sanadiqiya to Mousky Street. As soon as she was beyond the range of the penetrating eyes, her lips parted in a smile, her beautiful eyes quickly surveyed the activity in the bustling street. For a girl of uncertain origins she never lost her spirit of self-confidence. Perhaps her beauty contributed to her self-assurance, but this was not the only factor. Jag har uppdaterat sidan för Afrika 2010 , nu finns det en sida för länderna och det som har skrivits om Egypten och Midaqq-gränden . Om ni har skrivit något om boken och jag har missat det, hör av er i en kommentar så länkar jag till er sida.
