Recensioner i media

‘I particularly loved the evocative sections that flash back to1930s Egypt’ Good Housekeeping ‘This is a tale of love, sacrifice and a lost generation’ My Weekly ‘At its heart is a study of female friendship; the carefully drawn characters and sumptuous settings lead to an evocative and immersive romantic epic' Platinum ‘Heady and romantic… Heat, dust and forbidden passion play their part in this swoony story’ Daily Mail ‘…packed with dazzling landscapes, heart-melting romance and extraordinary characters who remain with you long after the last page has turned… Brown works a special kind of storytelling magic on this historical showstopper. It’s a heady experience not to be missed!’ Lancashire Post  ‘The lavish lifestyle of Europeans in pre-war Cairo is evocatively portrayed, as is the situation in Beirut just before civil war erupts. The plot moves along well, alternating effectively between the two storylines, which converge by the end of the book. An enjoyable read.’ Historical Novel Society ‘A tale of ambition, sacrifice and the lure of buried treasure’ Yours
