Pour certains la nostalgie du pays de notre enfance reste cantonnée à quelques souvenirs qui s'estompent au fil des années. Mais cette Alexandrie là, celle de Robert Naggar, continue de vibrer en une fresque tellement actuelle et vivante. Elle se déroule au fur et à mesure de ses pérégrinations pour retrouver les racines de sa famille qui remontent bien loin dans l'histoire de cette région du monde. Le foisonnement culturel est tel que j'ai tout lu, le sourire aux lèvres. Bien écrit comme d'habitude en une prose simple et vraie, pleine de passion et de tendresse même dans ces moments où auraient pu s'installer des doutes sur l'ampleur de la tâche à accomplir. Passionant et émouvant.
