One of Us - Hardcover

"David Freeman vividly captures the dying colonial world of pre-war Egypt when Cairo and Alexandria were the great glamour cities of the age. This is the best novel about that time and place since The Alexandria Quartet." -- Beryl Bainbridge

And there she meets the Egyptian Prince. He is young, handsome, and ardent in his pursuit of her. Soon war and circumstance create a triangle that is as turbulently political as it is erotic. Set against the glamour of prewar Cairo, this is a great historical romance.
