Hey @squirrelbrain thank you so much for all the lovely bookish gifts and postcard! So thoughtful of you; they really cheered me up this morning! The book sounds fascinating! I do love a good history book. 😀

Really enjoyed this (NF) book about trips that Florence Nightingale and Gustave Flaubert made down the Nile, at exactly the same time.
Although they never met and their trips couldn‘t have been more different (one looking for a sign from God and the other looking for brothels) it was fascinating to see the similarities and differences between them.
Also - a #bookspinbingo line! (Happy Dance!)

This one is from the TBR shelf but sounds rather intriguing - a fictionalised account of when Gustave Flaubert and Florence Nightingale were in Egypt at the same time.... 🤔
