In this sequel to Liddell's Unreal City, the expatriate Charles Harbord presents a sophisticated picture of social life in Cairo during the last months before the Suez crisis. He is one of those transplanted twentieth century Englishmen whose half disillusioned, half affectionate attachment to some exotic environment is the personification of a character about which Robert Liddell is uniquely qualified to write, and does so, with distinction.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Readers familiar with Unreal City will find this a fine continuation of a story which moves from Alexandria to Cairo, exploring an expatriate teacher's decision to stay in the face of pending local political crisis. The culture and atmosphere of Egypt as well as politics and social life are well done and compelling in this story of lives affected by political change. -- Midwest Book Review
