- "The Measure of Distance is a saga that follows four generations of an Egyptian family. Beginning in the late 1800s when the British took control of Egypt and culminating in 2011 with the Egyptian Revolution, the story alternates between the lives of those who migrated to America and those who remained. The novel surveys the larger landscape of immigration through the eyes of the family members, revealing how migration impacts the ties of kinship"-- Provided by publisher.
