Sandpiper by Ahdaf Soueif..From the Man Booker Nominee author of The Map of Love. Sandpiper is a collection of stories which provide insight into Egyptian and Western life and the links between them, looking at relationships within and across continents. People from many places - England, Alexandria, Istanbul - pass through defining crises in their relations with others. Most of them are women, and most find themselves in countries other than their own, where language, culture and prescribed emotions such as 'love' create confusion. New understandings are registered in intensely recalled moments and sensations.

Ahdaf Soueif (Arabic: أهداف سويف) is an Egyptian short story writer, novelist and political and cultural commentator. She was educated in Egypt and England - studied for a PhD in linguistics at the University of Lancaster. Her novel The Map of Love (1999) was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and subsequently translated into 21 languages. Soueif writes primarily in English, but her Arabic-speaking readers say they can hear the Arabic through the English. Along with in-depth and sensitive readings of Egyptian history and politics, Soueif also writes about Palestinians in her fiction and non-fiction. A shorter version of "Under the Gun: A Palestinian Journey" was originally published in The Guardian and then printed in full in Soueif's recent collection of essays, Mezzaterra: Fragments from the Common Ground (2004). Soueif has also translated Mourid Barghouti's I Saw Ramallah (with a foreword by Edward Said) from Arabic into English.
