Love Me In Luxor

Struggle to find love in the nineteen seventies and twenties.

By: Stephenson Holt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Rose has always fancied the handsome but unkempt Rag, since their teenage, sixties, skinny-dipping days, and knows that with them both suddenly single, it is up to her to gain the confidence to knit them both together. It should be easy for a liberated woman in the nineteen-seventies. Love has to eventually win.
Daphne is in finishing school while her father is a Pharmacist, serving in the first world war. Her only aim in life is to meet a rich man and to move upwards, socially. Being wooed by Bertie she is swept off her feet and life sees them both move socially upwards, higher than either of them expected. Love has to eventually win.
In Egypt, on a Nile Cruise, an accidental time slip brings the couples together, but with what consequences for the future of what later becomes the Roaring Twenties? Life after the First World War brought in the Roaring Twenties. Life after the Second World War, eventually brought in the Swinging Sixties. Both eras were supposed to liberate women and equalise the genders, but the similarities between the eras is still starkly evident.
The novel explores the naivety of young women, post the first world war and before the revolution that saw flappers during the twenties. It therefore explores adult themes and some of a sexual nature and is therefore restricted to readers over eighteen.
