The Mistress Of Nothing by Kate Pullinger
Set in the 19th century, this historical novel follows the journey of Sally Naldrett, a devoted lady's maid to the ailing Lady Duff Gordon, who travels to Egypt in search of a climate that might alleviate her tuberculosis. As they settle into the exotic and unfamiliar world of Luxor, Sally finds herself drawn into a life of unexpected freedom and romance, challenging the rigid social norms of Victorian England. However, her newfound independence comes at a cost, as she navigates the complexities of love, loyalty, and betrayal in a land far from home.
