Six Palms Street

About this book

Six Palms Street brings together ten extended stories about ten neighbors whose lives share the same street. Their experiences move across Algeria and Egypt and unfold through family ties, romances, secrets, and changes accumulated over decades. Marwan Mohamed treats the setting as more than a backdrop: the street itself becomes the central character, absorbing the memories of everyone who passes through it. As private histories intersect, a portrait emerges of place as a living archive—one that preserves the voices, losses, and affections of its residents long after individual moments have passed.
