The Pasha's grandchildren

The events of the novel revolve around three main axes. We find an axis of events in France that includes Antoine the journalist and Mustafa Fadel Pasha, the younger brother of Khedive Ismail. Through them, we learn about the relationship between the two brothers and the struggle over the rule of Egypt, and learn about Antoine's past and the details of his life and the crimes he committed that will turn his life into hell.
In another axis taking place in Egypt, we see matters from the point of view of Khedive Ismail and his rule over his brother and the projects he achieves and his wish that he had during his rule of the country. We see the resistance led by young men from different classes to remove Khedive Ismail from power in objection to his way of ruling Egypt, as they cooperate with employees from the Sunni circle and some army officers, and their attempts to isolate the Khedive and Abdel Hafeez will fail. Tomater and his family support the Khedive's rule and will be his spies to uncover the conspiracy that is being planned against him. His betrayal of the youth will put him in trouble by killing some of his sons.
We also see Almaz, the famous singer, in her beginnings and her rise on the shoulders of the famous Sakina Bey, who will retire from singing, and how Almaz met the singer Abdo Al-Hamouli until she became the first voice of Egypt, and her entanglement with the Tomatar family and the resistance.
The novel ends with the end of the rule of Khedive Ismail, who did not reap the fruits of what he sought and ended up losing his country like his brother. They both did not achieve their goals and ended their lives far from their homeland after losing the throne.
