15. The Map of Love: A Novel by Ahdaf Soueif
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, it’s the story about a divorced American journalist who falls in love with an Egyptian-American conductor. She goes to Egypt and into her past to understand and discover the story of her ancestors – Sharif and Anna – who had fallen in love nearly a century ago. This is a wonderful read about love across cultures.
“But things move on and by the time you’ve plotted your position the world around you has changed and you are running -panting- to catch up.”
