About this item

by Julie Tulba (Author)

Three strangers whose paths will cross on a trip to Egypt are unaware of the shared connections they hold. These unite them from times past to a sinister future.

Egypt, 1913

Alexandra Garis dreamed of something different, something tied to Egypt. But for a society girl from one of Philadelphia's oldest and most affluent families, her destiny was predetermined, much in the same way as Egypt's pharaohs' lives had been, and it did not include a college degree. However, a trip to Egypt on the advent of war would change all of that, forever altering her life's path. From the streets of Cairo, to the still haunting memories of the Western Front in the aftermath of the Great War, to journeys on the River Nile, Alexandra's destiny would be forever tied to the country she had always loved.

Egypt, 1939

For Eleanor Mews, Egypt afforded her the opportunity to reinvent herself. It was there that she could finally shed the stigma of the person she had been, the poor girl from the streets of London's East End, and become whoever she wanted. Although the war raging in Europe seemed so far away in Cairo at first, soon enough it came knocking on Eleanor's door in the form of both love and loss.

For Eleni, a Jewish child fleeing the Nazi-occupied Greek island of Corfu, who would suddenly come into Eleanor's life, it was Egypt but also the Englishwoman who saved her. Something she would never forget.

Egypt, 1997

For most people, a trip to Egypt is a trip of a lifetime. For Jimmy, Lux, and Eleanor, it turns out to be something entirely different.
