Sinai Tapestry by Edward Whittemore
A richly textured, episodic novel that weaves together adventure, political intrigue, myth and dark comedy as a diverse cast of characters—spies, soldiers, archaeologists, traders and locals—whose lives intersect across the Sinai and wider Middle East, are swept along by shifting empires, colonial schemes and personal obsessions; through interlocking vignettes and surreal episodes the book maps the region’s tangled history and human contradictions in a sprawling, satirical family-saga style.
