In 1862, Lucie Duff Gordon left her husband and three children in
England and settled in Egypt, where she remained for the rest of
her short life. Seeking respite from her tuberculosis in the dry
air, she moved into a ramshackle house above a temple in Luxor, and
soon became an indispensable member of the community. Setting up a
hospital in her home, she welcomed all - from slaves to local
leaders. Her humane, open-minded voice shines across the centuries
through these letters - witty, life-affirming, joyous,
self-deprecating and utterly enchanted by her Arab neighbours.
