As part of Authors at the Astor, author Juliana Maio will speak about her new book City of the Sun: a novel.
City of the Sun is set in Cairo, Egypt 1941. Espionage, love, and power play upon the shifting sands of wartime Cairo. As the second world war rages, the city known as Paris on the Nile plays host to an international set who seem more interested in polo matches and swanky nightclubs than the Germans? unrelenting advance across North Africa. Blending the romantic noir of the classic film Casablanca with a suspenseful narrative, City of the Sun offers a portrayal of a time and place that was not only pivotal for the war, but also sowed much of the turbulence in today?s Middle East.
