Now, in the  spring of 1941, they arrive in Egypt as Rommel’s forces slowly but  surely approach Cairo across the Sahara from the west. Will the city  fall? In the streets the people contemplate welcoming a new set of  occupiers, while European refugees and well-heeled Anglo-Egyptians  prepare to pack their bags. And at night, everyone who is anyone flocks  to the city’s famed hotels and seedy cabarets, seeking one last dance  before the tanks roll in. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManning describes the Pringles’ ever  complicated marriage and their motley group of friends and foes with the  same sharp eye that earned \u003ci\u003eThe Balkan Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e a devoted  following. And she also traces the fortunes of a marvelously drawn new  character, Simon Boulderstone, a twenty-year-old recruit who must  grapple with the boredom, chaos, and fleeting exhilaration of war.","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42378160308479,"sku":"9781590177211","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781590177211_s600x595.jpg?v=1775593254","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781590177211","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
