Hutchins]] and [[Olive Kenny]] * ''Palace of Desire'' - Hutchins, Olive Kenny and [[Lorne Kenny]] * ''Sugar Street'' - Hutchins, Olive Kenny and [[Angele Botros Samaan]] The translation was overseen by [[Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis]], an editor at Doubleday at the time, and Martha Levin.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indiana.edu/~liblilly/lilly/mss/index.php?p=hutchinsinv|title=Hutchins mss.|website=www.indiana.edu|language=en|access-date=2018-03-14}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} {{lit-stub}} [[Category:Novels]] [[Category:Egyptian culture]] [[Category:1956 books]]
