iUniverse Title Featured in Kirkus Discoveries Newsletter
New York, NY, March 03, 2007 --(PR.com)-- A Letter to Sophie: The Story of an Immigrant by iUniverse author Aziz Anis received a rave review in the February 2007 edition of the Kirkus Discoveries monthly e-newsletter.
A Letter to Sophie details Anis’s intriguing life, including his experiences as an Egyptian schoolboy during the World War II era and the pursuit of his medical career. The book vividly describes Anis’s family dynamics and the conflict between his loyalty to Egypt and his own liberal beliefs. As an adult, Anis moves his young family to the United States to escape violence in Egypt and Great Britain. With a poignant and humble touch, he aptly communicates the frustrations of an immigrant experiencing the collision of old ways and new attitudes.
