Críticas:
Absorbing, intimate, Pullinger's story of a loyal English maidservant's awakening during a journey to an 1860s Egypt in turmoil is also a subtle observation of the play of power and love (Lisa Appignanesi)
A lush and compelling tale of two very different women discovering a whole new world (The Gloss 2009-06-01)
Scorchingly powerful (Good Housekeeping 2009-07-11)
This is a fascinating, intelligent novel, exploring the snobbery upon which the sun never sets (Kate Saunders The Times 2009-07-25)
Beautifully told and moving (Antony Beevor Guardian 2009-07-25)
Unerring at coveying the subtle cruelties of power relationships and the incremental dawnings of love and affection. Coupled with this is an almost painterly ability to depict and Egypt alternately parched and sumptuous - both literally and metaphorically (Metro 2009-07-22)
Pullinger's involving novel seamlessly blends fact and fiction, combining the heady romance of Egypt with a cold splash of realism (Daily Mail 2009-07-31)
A fascinating story... there is much to admire in this unusual love story (Lesley McDowell Independent on Sunday 2009-08-02)
Intriguing... unusual and very absorbing (Saga 2009-08-01)

Lady Duff Gordon is the toast of Victorian London. But when her debilitating tuberculosis means exile, she and her devoted lady's maid, Sally, set sail for Egypt. It is Sally who describes, with a mixture of wonder and trepidation, the odd ménage marshalled by the resourceful Omar, which travels down the Nile to a new life in Luxor. When Lady Duff Gordon undoes her stays and takes to native dress, throwing herself into weekly salons; language lessons; excursions to the tombs; Sally too adapts to a new world, affording her heady and heartfelt freedoms never known before.
But freedom is a luxury that a maid can ill-afford, and when Sally grasps more than her status entitles her to, she is brutally reminded that she is mistress of nothing.
