The Girl from Cairo is a memoir covering her life in Egypt, Canada, and the United States between 1940 and 1960.
Peggy owes her love of books to her paternal grandfather, who owned the largest private library in Egypt. She was introduced to books in three languages (English, French, and Armenian) at a very young age. She grew up in a very cosmopolitan environment and was an avid reader. She kept a journal in English since the age of twelve and was editor of her high school newsletter.
Peggy is an internationally recognized artist, and parallel to her art, she writes essays, short stores, and children’s picture books. Her first novel titled Of Julia And Men appeared in the New York Times Book Review magazine under “Discover New Titles - Great Stories, Unique Perspectives.” She designed the cover illustration, plus twenty-six interior images. The novel has also been published in French.
Several of Peggy’s short stories have been published in editions of The Gilded Pen: Anthology of the San Diego Writers/Editors Guild.
In 2020, Peggy’s life as an author and as an artist was featured on “Living Your Dreams” (Mara Brown) airing on Los Angeles TV. During the same year, she won an award from the Writers’ Workshop in Asheville, North Carolina, for a five-thousand-word memoir titled My Life in Heliopolis, Egypt.
Peggy divides her time between California, Florida, and Switzerland, where she promotes her art and writings.
