Summary
Lady Duff Gordon is the toast of Victorian London, but when her tuberculosis means exile, she and her devoted lady's maid, Sally, set sail for Egypt. Lady Duff Gordon soon undoes her stays and takes to native dress, throwing herself into language lessons and excursions to the tombs, while Sally too adapts to a new world, affording her heady freedoms never known before. But freedom is a luxury that a maid can ill-afford. Some strong language, some descriptions of sex, and some descriptions of violence. Winner of the Governor General's Award 2009. c2009
