The Photographer's Wife by Robert Sole

When Dora and Emil Touta are married in Egypt in 1861, she begs him to teach her the secrets of his photographic studio. Soon Dora's skill with a camera has far eclipsed Emil's and the studio is the talk of Cairo. But the Cairene elite, however sophisticated, is not ready for a woman as emancipated as Dora, and her marriage shows signs of strain. She must choose between the role of a wife and that of an artist in a society whose own identity is divided as nationalism takes root under British occupation. This 2000 Harvill Press Paperback is in very good condition. Minimal foxing to the top of pages.
