WILD RELEASE NOTES:
RELEASE NOTES:
A remarkable novel which tells the story of the history of the post-imperial Middle East. Both a love story and a document of 30 years of bloodshed, this book is also the ‘best read’ of the short list by general agreement of the Booker Prize committee.
Synopsis:
1900 Lady Anna Winterbourne travels to Egypt where she falls in love with Sharif, an Egyptian Nationalist utterly committed to his country’s cause.
A hundred years later, Isabel Parkman, an American divorcee and a descendent of Anna and Sharif, goes to Egypt, taking with her an old family trunk, inside which are found notebooks which reveal Anna and Sharif’s secret.
Left it on the side table near the entrance to Cafe Galilee while grabbing a hot beverage.

Hi, My name is Howard. I was on my way to meeting my friend at Jurong East Library in Singapore, when I went over to the free magazine table to pick up some magazines. But on that table, I found the above book instead! I have read about "bookcrossing.com" over the papers a couple of years back, and this is my first find! I'm currently still reading the book and am curious about who left it there for me. Many thanks and here's to reading!
