Description

A Woman of Cairo by Noel Barber is set against the backdrop of World War II in Egypt. Son and daughter of diplomats, Serena Pasha and Mark Holt, have grown up in a world of privilege and luxury, but their lives are complicated by family obligations and societal expectations. As the war draws closer to Cairo, a shocking accident gives these young lovers a second chance at each other, but with this newfound love comes danger. The country is torn apart by nationalist forces determined to end the British occupation, and Mark and Serena's relationship is put to the test in a time of great uncertainty. Against the tumultuous backdrop of war-torn Egypt, A Woman of Cairo is a story of forbidden love, loyalty, and survival.
