Juliana Maio's book is simply brilliant!! The story of Mickey, the American journalist, and Maya, the Jewish refugee, will grab you with both hands and take you through an exotic, exciting journey in Cairo during 1941! I love how the author builds the story through different points of view! This gives the reader a well rounded story which is seen through the eyes of each character. This is a story of love jammed packed with action and adventure. The story is very well written and developed. I absolutely could not read fast enough!
