When I was half way throu it really absorbed in the story, I shared my views with a friend, and found out there was apart missing, the prologue. Inmediatly I got in touch with Amazon and told them about it. So far they have not updated the complete virsion. It is a pity as the book is really good. You can do without the prologue at the bigginnig, but by 3/4 of the book you need to read it. So that the end makes sense.The story lets you see and understand egypt s history and culture. It made me want to know more about Egypt as a country. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great read *by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016* This book was reall good. I love historical type books but this type isn't one I've read before. This be starts out in 1945 in Egypt. And spans until almost the pleasant day. It is a family novel rich in history of the times, and as a Jew I found it t be in a lot f ways the other side of the coin for me. This family aren't Jewhaters though, in fact the family matriarch has a Jewish woman as her neighbor and best friend, she considers her to be a sister. IT starts out with the family being the friends and Doctor of the King, and goes through the coup that overthrows the Royal family, and what happens to those that were friends with them. I really found this to be a really good read, and am thankful that a cousin of mine recommended it to me. I recommend it to you. I hate paying that much for an ebook but it is worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Multi-generational Muslim Family Saga *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2016* Author Barbara Wood brings her readers into the Egypt of King Farouk's era, gradually encompassing the times of Nasser, Sadat, and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood. Much more than a history, it is a multi-generational saga of a family and its many offshoots of clan, stories, and lives.Having visited Egypt, I can attest to Wood's ability to bring alive the scenery and scents. Her rendering of Cairo, the Nile, and the fellucas is evocative of the city I remember. As a reader you will be transported to a foreign land and quickly swept up into an engaging, complex story.Her treatment of the subjugation of girls and women reflects the dichotomy of their status today. Some prefer the old ways while others, chafe at its restrictions and want freedom: of their bodies, their minds, the lives they will lead and the possibility of having careers.Woods' book is reminiscent of a wonderful story; The Toss of a Lemon, by Padma Viswanathan. She wrote about a multi-generational Brahmin family and how it changed through decades. If you enjoy stories such as these, read both. You won't be disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/121529649-virgins-of-paradise](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/121529649-virgins-of-paradise) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
