Actually, it sounds like a bad copy of Naguib Mahfouz's Cairo Trilogy

I mean down to the details about the characters. I obviously can't say much definitively, not having read the book (and honestly, I really don't have much desire to, either, based on the synopsis), but from what you've posted it really sounds like a bad copy of the Cairo Trilogy, written by Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
