Set in Cairo in 1941, this is a historical romance war novel. The romance blooms between Maya and Mickey, who are both hiding the truth about their identities for different reasons. Maya is a Jewish refugee who is trying to get to Palestine with her father and her brother. Mickey is an American journalist who is hired as a spy to find a Jewish scientist and while his job starts out interesting, it later becomes dangerous and deadly. To me, the book started out really slow and I had a hard time getting into it. I did find the historical facts about Egypt during that time period interesting and I enjoyed the romance. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
