Summary
"Sherif "Sheero" Abdallah is an college student living in New York City and reveling in independence, free from the judgmental gaze of his conservative Egyptian family to indulge in all sorts of pleasures. When the FBI comes knocking on his door, he's convinced it's a case of mistaken identity--until they show him a picture of his cousin Amir. Sheero is suddenly forced to return home to Cairo and confront the events that led to their wildly different circumstances. While Amir wore Sheero's hand-me-downs and suffered at the hands of neglectful, abusive parents, Sheero attended Cairo's most prestigious private schools, where he and his best friend Taymour, the son of one of Cairo's business moguls, could enjoy sports clubs, beach vacations, high-end dining, and socializing with girls. Once inseparable cousins, Sheero and Amir grew further apart, Amir ultimately having more in common with the children of Taymour's housekeeper: Omar, Mustafa, and Zeina."--jacket
