Shimmering heat on undulating sand dunes, swaying palms, the tang of eucalyptus in the air - these things meant home for Maya growing up in Egypt. When the Suez crisis forced foreigners including Maya's family, out of Egypt in 1956 she had to admit she had only ever been a guest there. But it was not easy to let Egypt go. She had been born in the legendary city of Alexandria with its intoxicating mix of cultures, colours and flavours, and Egypt was in her blood. It was not until Maya, by then in her fifties, came to Alice Springs that she recovered a sense of home. She rediscovered a desert world that she thought had been lost forever.For the benefit of her Australian children and grandchildren, Maya Cifali untangles the branches of her family tree on two sides - French-Jewish and Italian-Catholic, living for generations in Egypt. Seen through the eyes of the child Maya was back then, The Silver Bracelet is an evocative account of life in Egypt in the 1940s and 1950s and an elegy for the cosmopolitan world that was lost with Gamal Abdel Nasser's drive to create an Egypt for the Egyptians.
