Summary
"Set in an alternative Cairo of immense inequality and draconian governance where wishes can be bought and sold, SHUBEIK LUBEIK (Your Wish is My Command) follows three characters whose lives are changed when they come into possession of a first class wish. There is Aziza, who has recently lost the love of her life; Nour, whose mother wished for a girl but who feels themselves to be betwixt and between; and Shokry, the elderly seller of wishes who has to make a choice about the last of his wares."--Provided by publisher.
