Inhaltsangabe
Maxime Touta was only 13 when, in January 1863, he watched a young officer being publicly degraded in the Place des Consuls in Alexandria. The scene marked the beginning of an extraordinary period in 19th-century Egypt, which was then governed by the European puppet ruler, the Khedive Ismail.

Reseña del editor
Maxime Touta, the protege of the flamboyant correspondent of the Semaphore d'Alexandrie, is the perfect eye through which to observe an Egypt poised on the brink of change. The Suez Canal -- the feat of engineering that will transform her fortunes -- is nearing completion, and Ottoman Egypt is torn between the French and the British. For Maxime, who is pursuing his dream of becoming a journalist, the political machinations of the day are woven in with the exuberant nature of life in the Touta clan -- and his own passion for Nada, once a Syrian orphan under the protection of his father, now the beautiful wife of another man.
