But there Uncle Raymond is, with his loud defensive laugh. One of the hints is a reference to "your aunt". She turns out to be Nadia, a very attractive Copt installed in Cairo, who persistently refuses to answer Raymond's letters no mater how despairing and pleading they might be. Faulkes is enlisted to track her down, an operation which produces results so bizarrely devastating that he is, while being hazy about what happened, marked for the rest of his life. This deft, stylish, beautifully intelligent comedy is P. H. Newby at his most entertaining; happily at home again in the mystery, the farce, the squalor and the splendour of that wartime Egypt where he lived and first won his spurs as one of the most considerable novelists now writing. It will delight his admirers and induce new recruits to swarm happily in their ranks.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Percy Howard Newby CBE (25 June 1918 - 6 September 1997) was an English novelist and broadcasting administrator. He was the first winner of the Booker Prize, his novel "Something to Answer For" having received the inaugural award in 1969.'
