Synopsis

In vivid and graceful prose, Lucette Lagnado re-creates the majesty and cosmopolitan glamour of Cairo in the years between World War II and Gamal Abdel Nasser's rise to power. Her father, Leon, was a boulevardier who conducted business on the elegant terrace of Shepheard's Hotel, and later, in the cozy, dark bar of the Nile Hilton, dressed in his signature white sharkskin suit. But with the fall of King Farouk and Nasser's nationalization of Egyptian industry, Leon and his family lose everything. As streets are renamed, neighborhoods of their fellow Jews disbanded, and the city purged of all foreign influence, the Lagnados, too, must make their escape.With all of their belongings packed into twenty-six suitcases, their jewels and gold coins hidden in sealed tins of marmalade, Leon and his family depart for any land that will take them. The poverty and hardships they encounter in their flight from Cairo to Paris to New York are strikingly juxta-posed against the beauty and comforts of the lives they left behind.

One of the best books I have ever read. Thoroughly enjoyable! Highly recommend it! It's a fascinating story of her Egyptian Jewish family's exodus from Egypt, and other Egyptian Jews, after Egypt ceased to be a British colony and gained its independence in 1952. The book is interesting on so many levels. Historically, it describes what Cairo was like in the 1940's and 50's, what it was like during World War 2, and briefly touches on why and how Hitler and Mussolini lost the battlefront of North Africa to the Allied forces. It also has thoughtful, keen observations on cultural distinctives of the East and the West, and through the story you get a picture of the cultural adjustments that immigrants from the East face and make when they move to the West. It also paints a picture of what it is like to be parent from the East, raising kids in the West, and what it's like to be a child in the West, growing up with parents who are immigrants from the East. My Egyptian friends will particularly like it, but also, like Fiddler on the Roof, the story has a broad appeal beyond its immediate context, and many can relate to it.It is so eloquently written, that reading paragraph after paragraph, is like listening to a beautifully composed piece of music. If you love a good book you'll love this one!

Excellent description of middle class class life in Cairo, Egypt, prior to, and after the revolution which ousted the King and replaced him with a Military Junta, that eventually turned on the middle class and especially the Jews. This is the story of a Jewish family, and especially the rather flamboyant father, who, while fervently religious, identifies as an Egyptian (speaking perfect Arabic), and has all the trappings of Egyptian middle class culture. Then the revolution occurs (1952). Not much changes until the Suez war with Israel (and England and France, 1956). The Jews of Egypt are forced to emigrate in droves (though never physically threatened). The book follows the family's heart wrenching departure, then their tribulations as they seek asylum in the US. Finally as they settle in New York, the book vividly describes the culture shock experienced by the older generation and the far easier adaptation of the teenagers. The author, who is the youngest child of this family, writes with sensitivity and an easy to read style.

The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit is one of the best books I've ever read.It vividly evokes a wonderful time in Egypt when Jews, Copts and Muslims identified as Egyptians first and co-existed harmoniously and peacefully.The book also documents the driving forces behind the large-scale exodus of Jews from Egypt after the establishment of Israel and the subsequent hardships they endured as immigrants in strange and foreign lands.I was born in Egypt - as Lucette (the author) was - though I'm Coptic, not Jewish. Lucette's book revived the Egypt of my youth and the wonderful shared experiences of a society that's sadly long gone - and the painful adjustment period that we all experienced as new immigrants to the US in the 60s and 70s.I'm so thankful that Lucette wrote this book and was very saddened that she passed away recently. I'd like to imagine that she and Leon and the wonderful community of Egyptians (Jews, Copts and Muslims) are re-united in a heavenly version of Malaka Nazli street somewhere....Ragouna Masr!

As far as the essence of the story,it's the memories that you perceive about your childhood are the reality that you remember,while distorting the underlying causes of the problem of forced immigration practiced against the minorities.a brutal indictment of war as practiced in the twentieth century after the colonial powers abandoned the very people that were propping them.the circumstances of the fall of empires at that junction of history is delicately told by the author,at the same time.Thanks for a special story.I was moved to 😢at the story.

Carefully written and thoroughly researched as well as engaging. A sad tale of riches to rags and not back again. Her father lived according to the respected way price as if he was the patriarch in Jewish Aleppo. Instead he lives and loves in Cairo until the oppression by Nasser forces the father to leave. Bensonhurst Brooklyn is no substitute for elegant 1940s Cairo. Her father's way of life is left behind and the family struggles in the Goldine Medina - where streets are paved with gold. Not. The family is fractured and the traditional structure and values crumble.
