A really good and interesting read about a lady after WWI who had lost her family--mother, brother, sister, brother in law & their children in a short period of time from the Spanish Flu of 1919. She was sick with it too but was able to recover. She being the sole survivor and her father and mother had a business that was sold for good money, she was now all alone and wealthy. Her sister & family had gone to Egypt and Palestine area and after hearing about this she decided she wanted to travel there too. Book is mostly about this time she spent in Cairo and then traveled into Palestine. She meets with the interesting people of the day--Winston Churchill, Lawrence--Lawrence of Arabia and others along the way. Interesting story and interesting time. This is a book that has been on my shelf for a few years and glad I finally got to it.
There are like 3 WL for it so I will post & mail off at some point probably soon.
