Katherine Frank
In 1862, Lucie Duff Gordon was diagnosed with tuberculosis and on the advice of her doctor, left her husband and three children to live in Egypt, where she would spend the rest of her life. Drawing on Duff Gordon’s correspondence with her family, Katherine Frank elegantly relates the dramatic transformation that she underwent as she discarded the restrictions of Victorian England, shunned the English community in Cairo and immersed herself in the Egyptian way of life—‘the real, true Arabian nights.’
Katherine Frank is the author of Indira: The Life of Indira Nehru Gandhi.
