Description
A Woman of Cairo by Noel Barber is a historical romance set in Egypt as the Second World War approaches. Serena Pasha and Mark Holt are the children of diplomats in Cairo, growing up in a privileged world of champagne breakfasts and midnight picnics at the pyramids. Although they have been close since childhood and grow closer as adults, Serena has been promised in marriage to Mark’s brother, Greg.
When a shocking accident gives Serena and Mark a second chance at being together, their love is soon threatened by forces far beyond their personal lives. As German forces threaten Egypt and nationalist movements in Cairo oppose the British occupation, the country becomes increasingly divided and dangerous, placing their relationship under intense pressure.
A good choice for readers who enjoy historical romance, wartime fiction, sweeping love stories and novels set against the political and social upheaval of wartime Egypt.
