Couldn't put down this urgent debut novel chronicling the Egyptian Arab Spring uprising. You follow the narrative through the lives of two young activists while checking in with the family of a young martyr. Hamilton does a great job of giving the reader the micro and macro views of this discrete time. Looking forward to reading more by this novelist. I received an advanced copy of this novel from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

" A debut novel that captures the experience of the Egyptian revolution like no news report could. The City Always Wins is a remarkable novel from the psychological heart of a revolution. From the communal highs of pitched night battles against the police in Cairo to the solitary lows of defeated exile in New York, Omar Robert Hamilton's debut is a unique immersion in one of the key chapters of the twenty-first century. Arrestingly visual, intensely lyrical, uncompromisingly political, The City Always Wins is a novel not just about Egypt's revolution but about a global generation that tried to change the world.
