内容简介
······

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. In elegant and witty prose, Andre Aciman introduces us to the marvellous eccentrics who shaped his life: the strutting daredevil, soldier, salesman, and spy; the two grandmothers, the Princess and the Saint, who gossip in six languages; and Aunt Flora, the German refugee who warns that Jews lose everything "at least twice in their lives." 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.

评论 ······

Aciman对细节及心理的文字描述太赞啦！还有超多不经意间让人忍俊不禁的表述！读着读着都感叹，英文也好美！

As a protege of Marcel Proust, Aciman created his own In Search of Lost Time, but with more palpable warmth.

Beautifully written, read it feels like enjoying sunshine in the shade.

我喜欢的男生也来自Alexandria。也许我再也不会见到他。但我很想拜访他的家乡，虽然他从童年就已离开那里。
