Written by Princess Nevine Abbas Halim, member of the Egyptian Royal Family, great-great grand daughter of Mohamed Ali Pasha on her father’s side and two more greats on her mother’s side.
Drawn from her own diary, as well as that of her mother and grandmother, Princess Nevine Halim takes us on a journey from one world war to the next, from Egypt to Europe and the U.S., from a world of privilege to social pariah.
