Camels, Goats, and the Call to Prayer: an Egyptian Journal

Ginda’s love of and compassion for her fellow man, coupled with an insatiable curiosity, led this artist/storyteller on daily excursions through everything from the nightmare of downtown Cairo traffic, to the beauty in the harshness of life in the desert. Imagine yourself adrift on the Nile in a white-sailed felucca and let her take you to see the Sphinx in the middle of the night, to ancient bazaars and crowded marketplaces, to the tranquil countryside where life unfolds, unchanging. Travel with her on leisurely afternoons, honey-lit and sweet, adventures that lead her to new insights and ancient wisdoms. Ginda is able to make the reader see what she sees, hear what she hears, and reflect with her on what it all means, as she discovers over and over again that the best treasures in Egypt cannot be purchased.Camels, Goats, and the Call to Prayer is a compilation of three previously published collections of short stories - Morning of Light, Afternoon of Honey, and Evening of Jasmine.
