No one knew why Adèle started attending their school in Heliopolis and no one liked her. She was always dressed in black and was the teacher's pet. But when the narrator of the story is punished by the teacher for something that she did not do, she and Adèle learn to trust each other and they become friends. It is then that the narrator finally discovers why Adèle was forced to leave her home in Cairo, that great and ancient city, and why she came to live in the small town of Heliopolis. At school, Adèle falls in love with Morris, a handsome and wealthy boy who competes with her in class. Following the school pageant, disturbing events happen that once again completely change Adèle's life. Set in Egypt during the 1930s, this poignant, lyrical and gently witty book is an enduring testament to childhood friendship and trust.
