The story is about a Georgian girl who is kidnapped by a Bedouin in Cairo, there is much emphasis on the Bedouin’s scintillating grey eyes, and like a victim of Stockholm Syndrome, she falls in love with her captor. Her brother ventures to Egypt to find her and finds “it is difficult to drive through the desert at night.” (I’d have thought it would be difficult to drive in the Egyptian desert period). The Bedouin’s earlier love interest, Elham, is jealous of the new girl and schemes to kill Tamta.
