The American debut of an award-winning novel about a lady&;s maid&;s awakening as she journeys from the confines of Victorian England to the uncharted far reaches of Egypt&;s Nile Valley
When Lady Duff Gordon, paragon of London society, departs for the hot, dry climate of Egypt to seek relief from her debilitating tuberculosis, her lady&;s maid, Sally, doesn&;t hesitate to leave the only world she has known in order to remain at her mistress&;s side. As Sally gets farther and farther from home, she experiences freedoms she has never known&;forgoing corsets and wearing native dress, learning Arabic, and having her first taste of romance.
But freedom is a luxury that a lady&;s maid can ill afford, and when Sally&;s newfound passion for life causes her to forget what she is entitled to, she is brutally reminded she is mistress of nothing. Ultimately she must choose her master and a way back home&;or a way to an unknown future.
Based on the real lives of Lady Duff Gordon and her maid, The Mistress of Nothing is a lush, erotic, and compelling story about the power of race, class, and love
