Software prodigy Josie Ashkenazi has invented a program that records everything its users do. When an Egyptian library invites her to visit as a consultant, her jealous sister Judith persuades her to go. But in Egypt's post-revolutionary chaos, Josie is kidnapped - leaving Judith free to usurp her sister's life, including her husband and daughter, while Josie's talent for preserving memories becomes her only hope of escape. A century earlier, Solomon Schechter, a Cambridge professor, hunts for a medieval archive hidden in a Cairo synagogue.

Pretty good overall

I thoroughly enjoyed the story but the narration was just ok (the whole thing was brought down a notch by how annoying the performance was for one of the character’s that’s a child).
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
