A Woman of Cairo

In the turbulent years when Egypt progresses from a corrupt monarchy to a fledgling democracy, Mark Holt and Serena Sirry grow up to discover a love for each other so strong that time, war, and even the wrath of kings cannot destroy it. As the storms of war threaten this ancient and exotic land, the lovers — each trapped in loveless marriages — are forced to part. Even as fate seems intent upon separating them, an unbreakable bond carries them through to the powerful climax of this irresistible saga: Mark’s defence of Serena in an Egyptian court — against a charge of murder.
