The Twelve Rooms of the Nile

The Twelve Rooms of the Nile
- Used Book in Good Condition
This â€œmesmerizing new work of historical fictionâ€ (The Miami Herald) imagines the deep friendship of Florence Nightingale and Gustave Flaubert as they travel up the Nile.

Before she became the nineteenth centuryâ€™s greatest heroine, before he had written a word of Madame Bovary, Florence Nightingale and Gustave Flaubert traveled down the Nile at the same time in 1850. But where history would have these two figures float right by each other, the award-winning writer Enid Shomer brings them together to ignite a passionate friendship that alters both their destinies.

Shomer, whose writing The New York Times has praised as â€œbeautifully cadenced, and surprising in its imaginative reach,â€ brings to life the opuÂlent tapestry of mid-nineteenth-century Egypt as the unlikely soul mates come together to share their darkest torments and most fervent hopes.
