One of Us

by David Freeman

Steeped in memory and rumors of war, One of Us is a sweeping novel of love and destiny during the last days of the colonial world in Egypt and England.

Already compared to The English Patient and The Alexandria Quartet, this beautifully crafted fiction is an authentic excursion into an astonishing world of decadent wealth and privilege. It evokes a time when honor and sacrifice mattered, when love might still prevail.

[Rome Doherty · Rating 3 out of 5]

Recommended to me as a lighter version of the Alexandria Quartet. It was a good solid novel about an interesting time.
