New York Times best-selling author Christopher New offers this many-layered novel - a striking portrayal of self-discovery, love and loss, as well as an allusive and timely depiction of the troubled interface between the Western and the Muslim worlds. An elderly British couple, revisiting the past in Egypt, cross paths with a pair of young Americans, whose insensitivity bring tensions to a quick climax. As Peter struggles to come to terms with his past, and his wife Clare discovers what he has been hiding all these years, the Americans make a discovery of their own.
