Luxor, 1946. When young nurse Aida El Masri returns from war-torn London to her family's estate in Egypt she steels herself against the challenges ahead.

Eight years have passed since her father, Ayoub, was framed for a crime he did not commit, and died as a tragic result. Yet Aida has not forgotten, and now she wants revenge against the man she believes betrayed her father – his best friend, Kamel Pharaony.

Then Aida is reunited with Kamel's son, the captivating surgeon Phares, who offers her marriage. In spite of herself, the secret passion Aida harboured for him as a young girl reignites. Still, how can she marry the son of the man who destroyed her father and brought shame on her family? Will coming home bring her love, or only danger and heartache?

Set in the exotic and bygone world of Upper Egypt, Song of the Nile follows Aida's journey of rediscovery – of the homeland she loves, with its white-sailed feluccas on the Nile, old-world charms of Cairo and the ancient secrets of its burning desert sands – and of the man she has never forgotten.

A compelling story of passion and intrigue – a novel that lays open the beating heart of Egypt.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The story that bathed me with romance
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Having been born and raised in Alexandria, I discovered as I was reading Song of the Nile, that I got to know my country’s history of women in more descriptive narration never so precise and true. As a teenager, I visited Luxor and Aswan with my classmates, there was nothing left in my memory about Upper Egypt. I revisited the place as I read the vivid image of the streets, people, weather and culture so eloquently described Hannah.
    The setting of life in Egypt, and in particular Luxor during the forties was so interesting to learn about as the romance between Aida and Phares evolved and grew into such a story full of surprises, love and deep emotions.
    I saw myself in Aida’s strong and fearless personality. Aida, torn between her upbringing in England, and her roots in Egypt, she embarks on a search for truth about the death of her father, in an ancient culture dominated by men and where women have no voice or status in the society.
    Aida’s father was accused of theft by none other than kamel, Phares’s father. Aida falls in love with Phares, and this where the stories get so captivating and engaging. The romance between them in such complicated and closed culture poured with lush feelings and sweet emotions, which made the book hard to put down.
    This is one of the best historical romance novel I ever read, and the one I am sure will read more than once.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent post-World war II Egyptian novel
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2021
    Song of the Nile was a fabulous read, maybe a masterpiece! Descriptions of locales in Egypt, the cities, desert, food and characters, are lush and beyond compare. Not to mention the romantic and steamy romantic episodes which are tastefully but passionately written.

    The book is set in post-World War II Egypt and centers around Aida El-Masri, an English-Egyptian girl, whose Egyptian father tragically died of a heart attack after being falsely accused of the theft of an Egyptian antiquity. Aida has spent the war years in England as a nurse often caring for the war wounded. After the War ends, she returns to the family home in Luxor and soon reconnects with surgeon Phares Pharaony, a childhood friend. The relationship is complicated by the tale told by a servant years before about the involvement of Phares’ father Kamel, in the false allegations against Aida’s late father.

    Eventually Phares and Aida begin to re-build their relationship, complicated by his unexplained absences. There is engaging narrative/adventure concerning the obtaining and sale of stolen archeological antiquities and how it connects to Phares.

    This was a beautifully crafted novel, complete with detailed descriptions of the Nile, the trees and flowers of the country, and the lives and customs of various levels of Egyptian society—wealthy Coptic Egyptians, expatriates, the common people including workers, servants, and Bedouins,

    My thanks to #netgalley for a copy of this book. The author was unknown to me previously, but I learned so much about how a non-European country fared during and after WWII, about Egyptian nationalism at the time, and so much more. Highly recommended.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A fun romance!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024
    In 1946, Aida El Masri returned to Egypt after working as a nurse in WWII. After her arrival, she assumed the responsibilities of running her father’s estate. Shortly after Aida’s arrival, she met her neighbor, Kamel Pharaony, whom she believed murdered her father eight years ago. Aida also found herself falling in love with Kamel’s son named Phares. Will Aida ever allow herself to eventually marry Phares?

    I did not like the protagonist, Aida. I really had a hard time connecting with her. She comes across as very whimsy and childish. I thought that she would become a mature woman because of the hardships she faced during the war. Instead, Aida doesn’t listen to good counsel because she wants to be independent. I believe that a woman can yearn for independence but also must remain practical. Aida is not very practical and makes rash decisions. Therefore, I didn't really understand her and was not as invested in her story.

    Overall, this novel is about loss, family, and tradition vs modernity. I like the supporting characters, especially Phares. He was very honest, caring, and truly loved Aida! I also love the Egyptian setting! It was very exotic! I love the author’s writing style. It has gorgeous prose and is very lyrical. Therefore, Song of the Nile is a meticulously researched novel! Even though Song of the Nile is a very long novel, it is very fast-paced! I There is glitz and glamor, suspense, and romance! There were some flaws in this novel. I did not like some of the graphic scenes. It made me uncomfortable. I also found some parts of the novel to be very repetitive! Nevertheless, this novel is a must-read for those that like to read about Egyptian history and culture! I recommend this for fans of The Collector’s Daughter, The Oud Player of Cairo, and A Woman in Cairo!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great story, beautiful setting
    Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021
    The romance at the heart of this story is well done. It has the handsome doctor and the woman who loves him, and it has the conflict that keeps them from being happy. In this case, it's another woman, or two, as well as a suspicion that his family caused shame to hers. The beauty of this book, though, is in the beauty of Egypt, painted in every scene. The lush areas near the Nile, and the captivating scenes in the desert are ones I can read again and again. And the descriptions of the wealthy postwar crowd in Cairo, and their amazing clothes, are very well done. Overall, the characters of Phares and Aida are complex and well drawn. Their attraction is strong, and the misunderstandings keeping them apart are believable. Highly recommended for fans of historical romance.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So romantic
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2021

    I heard about this book via the author's Facebook. I;ve read her others, and loved them - so romantic. This one is the best yet! The Egypt setting is so interesting, and the author (who's Egyptian) knows a lot about the place and its history. Pyramids and tombs are an amazing backdrop. There's mystery and drama, and the love story had me hooked.. Phares could sweep me off on his horse any day!

    Definitely recommend, a perfect holiday - or stay-cation - read taking you back to a romantic place and time.

    After reading the Andalucian trilogies I was eager to read about Egypt. I wasnt dissapointed with the story but it was spoilt with the bad printing of the numbers of the chapters coming up all over the place and the sentences and paragraphs not making any sense.
    Spoilt a good book.

    The storyline and characters are very likeable; however, the book is incredibly raunchy which I wasn't expecting.
    It is indeed a romance but I found all the love scenes bit too detailed and explicit for my liking.
    That being said, the descriptions of the Egyptian landscape and visual imagery are stunning; the author is very talented.
