PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A Wall Streeet Journal reporter, Lagnado evokes not just the extraordinary life of her marvelously social father (the "boulevardier of Cairo), but also the now-vanished world of Cario before Gamal Abdel Nasser and the exodus of the Jews. Landing eventually in Brooklyn in the 1960s, it's the nightclubs, markets, synagogues, cemetaries and wheeling-dealing of colonial Cairo that animated her father Leon.
