Son and daughter of diplomats in Cairo, the gentle Serena Pasha and Mark Holt are privileged and attractive, growing up in a magical world of champagne breakfasts and midnight picnics at the pyramids. Their lives entwined since childhood, they grow ever closer as adults. Yet Serena's hand has been promised not to Mark, but to his brother, Greg. As World War II speeds closer to Cairo, a shocking accident gives these young lovers a second chance—but with this chance comes terrible danger. Egypt is threatened not only by the German army but by nationalist forces within Cairo determined to end the British occupation at any cost. The country torn apart, and enemies everywhere, Mark and Serena's love is tested to the limit.

reviewed A Woman of Cairo on June 13, 2010 A Woman of Cairo
I have learned alot from this book. I truly have - I'm not just saying that. If I were to write a book review about this book I would title it Women of Cairo: Are they all Farida's?
If you have read this book you'd know who Farida - or Safinaz - is. She is the true model of a conservative Egyptian wife which also happens to be the queen of Egypt. But, the problem is Farida is oppressed by her spoiled husband - king. I believe there's a completely clear message set there in the book.
The 'woman of cairo' isn't Queen Farida. The woman is a girl called Selena. if you focus long enough, you'll find out that Selena is a foil to Queen Farida. They were both put under the very same situations. However, they go through these situations in completely different manners.
I love the way Noel barber writes in a wonderful way. He just keeps you hooked up on the substance - the book - until you're done with the very last page. He is a man that is going to have you looking for the rest of his works. He is a man that - clearly - respects and treasures Egyptian culture - my culture. It is such a delight to read tastful novels about my country written by foreigners. This is definately a book to read.
