Avery Escher is a Canadian engineer recently moved to a houseboat on the Nile with his new wife, Jean, in 1964. Avery's part of a team of engineers trying to salvage Abu Simbel, which is about to be flooded by the new Aswan dam. His wife, Jean, meanwhile, carries with her childhood memories of flooded villages and the heavy absence of her mother, who died when she was young. Now, the sight of the entire Nubian nation being evacuated from their native land before it's flooded affects both Avery and Jean intensely. Jean's pregnancy seems a possible redemption, but their daughter is stillborn, and Jean falls into despair, shunning the former intimacy of her marriage. When the couple returns to Canada, they set up separate lives and another man enters the picture.

Found it today in the Espressohouse and I´ll give it a try! Probably I´ll take the book with me to Germany.

Released 10 yrs ago (8/10/2013 UTC) at - somewhere in Reykjavik in Reykjavík, Reykjavík (Höfuðborgar svæðið) Iceland

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

The book travelled further! I gave him several tries and recently took it with me to my fantastic Iceland-holidays. Unfortunately I was not in the mood for a story placed in Egypt. So I released it in the "Harpa" - nearby the harbour of Reykjavik. There has been thousands of peoples around because of the gay-pride-parade, so the book has got a good chance for a new owner! Good luck!
