In blue ink

A new and different journey from his previous novels. As usual, Hisham Al-Khashin accompanies us on it. From London to Constantinople, through Paris, and all the way to Cairo, he shares with us the story of Lydia Stone, the British governess who, in the early 1870s, joined the palace of the Egyptian Prince Mustafa Bahjat Fadel. We live with her, between the pages and her lines, the course of the successive Khedive eras, including the events they contained. A mixture of historical figures who lived and were landmarks in the history of Egypt, and others from the writer''s imagination. We follow through their eyes and feelings how they lived and the adventures and life drama they went through in the midst of that rich period that witnessed a renaissance for the homeland, whose details we still long for. In Blue Ink is a gripping novel about passion, self-discovery, and the cruelty of fate and people.
