(Simon and Schuster, 2012) Enid Shomer's debut novel, in which Florence Nightingale and Gustave Flaubert, both travelling in Egypt in 1849, form a deep friendship, marked by intelligence, humor, and a ravishing tenderness, that alters their destinies in the early days of the European exploration of the Nile. —from Lippincott Massie McQuilkin Stalking the Florida Panther
"In this fine first book the eternal themes of love, loss, unrequital, and forgiveness come together with the characters to form a remarkably unified whole."—Maxine Kumin STARS AT NOON: Poems from the Life of Jacqueline Cochran
