In Love In Alexandria opens with a man at a loss: Dominic Erbury hears from his wife that their marriage is over. Emotional and mental disturbances follow, and in the middle of them he receives a letter from Emma, the enigmatic and seductive young student he fell in love with in Egypt before his marriage. His memories of their affair, and of Alexandria and Cairo, surge back into his mind and take possession of him.Set in the aftermath of the Arab-Israeli war of Ramadan '73, In Love In Alexandria is a story of a man coming to terms with modern woman's sexual liberation, with the violence of the Middle East conflict, and with the irrepressible ebullience of Egyptian life. These strip him of his blinkered, liberal attitudes, and of his outdated dreams.Praise for the first edition:"Ruthlessly honest on the complex boundary between lust and love." - Mark Whitaker, Author and Broadcaster, UK."Immense political maturity." -Dr. M.
