The book is told from varying perspectives of the people living in the Midaq Alley, a rather poor neighborhood where nothing much really happens. Each in their own way they look to improve their circumstances.

The book gives an interesting insight into a society very much driven by honor and social position, where men make life changing decisions for their families based entirely on their own desires. I liked the variety of characters introduced and learning their very different dreams. I found the high drama in their fights a bit much.

It was a 4-star read for me as well.
