«Out of Egypt» is André Aciman's memoir, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (415 pages, in English).
The author evokes his childhood in mid-twentieth-century Alexandria and portrays his Jewish family, of Italian and Turkish roots, who lived in Egypt for three generations before being expelled in the 1960s. Afternoons at the cinema, swims at the beach, and discussions about faith and money depict a vanished community and the weight of exile.

For readers of memoirs and biographies, and for those seeking narratives about identity, exile, and Jewish life in twentieth-century Egypt.
