Dreamers of the Day

Today I received my copy of Dreamers of the Day, which is Mary Doria Russell's latest book!

[grins madly and rubs hands together excitedly]

OK, so it's not science fiction or fantasy. It's historical fiction, rather like A Thread of Grace. When I thought about how intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually stimulating her previous three books were (sometimes painfully so), I decided I must own the latest. And, hey, it's historical. I'm a history major. Easy sell.

Which particular historical era? Any I might be interested in?

It's Winston Churchill, Lawrence of Arabia and others in Cairo in 1921, splitting up the Middle East and creating turmoil for coming decades.
