A romantic tale of love and social boundaries set against Egyptian society and a British upbringing.

The book follows a Syrian heroine who must choose between family loyalty and a love that challenges deep-seated snobberies.

In this story, two worlds collide: a glamorous, modern London life and the old, ostracized communities of Cairo. As relationships test loyalties and power, the characters confront what it means to love freely while facing pressure from society.

A cross-cultural romance that questions class, race, and allegiance
Portraits of strong, complex women navigating desire, duty, and identity
Vivid settings—from a Kensington drawing room to deserts and Nile landscapes
A drama of promises, betrayals, and the price of choosing truth over propriety

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical romance, social tension, and character-driven love stories.

Tunis, is still inhabited by a race, neither numerous nor powerful now, which has seen all the dynasties of history come and go. The Copts an Arab way of saying Egyptians :E gypt is the land of Gypts or Copts are the descendants of the men who hewed wood and drew water for the Pharaohs, for conquerors likeD arius the Persian, theM acedonian Ptolemies, the Komans, and the A rabs, and are the intellectual hewers and drawers of modernE gypt. Like theB erbers ofT unis, they were mightily oppressed by Roman and Byzantine masters for not coming into the orthodox religion ;like theB erbers, they thought that their lot could not be worse under the Arab conqueror, and stood by sullenly while their masters were conquered, though their help would have made the Arab conquest impossible. The A rabs persecuted them in their turn, to make them abandon the feeble and impure stream of Christianity which had trickled down to them direct from St. Mark theE vangelist. But by living like rats in holes, the Copts have defeated their purpose, and remain the professors of the most ancient and debased form of Christianity, but the spiritual descendants, in their own eyes, of the Church of Egypt, immortal as the offspring of St. Mark, and the mother of Athanasius and Cyril andO rigen. Until theN ationalist movement began in the revolt of A rabi Pasha, the Copts orE gyptians and the A rabs kept distinct, but they now all call themselves Egyptians, to prosecute the claim forE gyptian I ndependence, which is in reality a Pan-I slamic movement into which the Copts have been betrayed. Girgis Boutros, who is one of the chief characters in the story, a very wealthy leader of the Copts, has been entrapped in this way, owing to his hatred of theE nglish. Side by side with the Copts there is another A rab-speaking Christian community in Egypt, a much fairer and handsomer race, who might often

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of love and social hierarchies in early 20th-century Egypt, a time when the British Empire exerted significant influence. The story centers around a young English officer who finds himself captivated by a beautiful Syrian woman, unaware of the deep-seated prejudices that mark the social landscape of Cairo. He falls in love with her, but his devotion is challenged by the realization that her background places her within a socially ostracized group. The author paints a vivid picture of the tension between traditional Arab ways of life and the Western social norms imposed by the British. The book explores the intricate web of relationships between various groups, including the Copts, the Syrians, and the British, and delves into the hidden resentments that simmer beneath the surface. The narrative explores the universal themes of love, class, and the struggle to reconcile one's identity with social expectations, while offering a nuanced perspective on the cultural clash between the East and West. The author's keen insights into the social dynamics of early 20th-century Egypt provide a fascinating and thought-provoking glimpse into a world where love and tradition often collide.
