This richly coloured memoir chronicles the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later.

And through it all, we come to know a boy who, even as he longs for a wider world, does not want to be led, forever, out of Egypt.
