An American writer, herself an expatriate escaping from her painful past, befriends him, sensing that he has a story to tell. ""Change the plot,"" she advises. ""Introduce new characters."" A fanciful tale of love's charms and an illustration of the mystical in an ordinary man, A Chance to See Egypt is a novel that proves that the story we choose to tell is the life we choose to live.
""Finely rendered novel with much to offer the discerning reader. I recommend it.""
