About this book
Set in an Egyptian village during the 1950s, The Manor and the Guard begins when an unexpected telephone call disrupts the mayor's household and unsettles the wider community. Abdel Latif Zard examines the conflicts between good and evil within ordinary people, showing how unchecked desire can turn a friend into a killer. The novel also traces the power of money to bend judgment and reduce human dignity to submission.
