From Sunday Times **Top Ten bestselling author, Katherine Webb, The English Girl is perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies, Kate Morton and Santa Montefiore.**

In a land full of secrets, you can make your own rules.

Joan Seabrook has fulfilled her lifelong dream to travel to Arabia and has arrived in the ancient city of Muscat with her fiancé, Rory. Desperate to escape the pain of a personal tragedy, she longs to explore the desert fort of Jabrin and unearth the wonders held within.

But Oman is a land lost in time, and gaining permission to explore could prove impossible. Joan's disappointment is only eased by the thrill of meeting her childhood heroine, pioneering explorer Maude Vickery, and hearing the stories that captured her imagination as a child.

The friendship that forms between the two women will change everything.

Both have desires to fulfil and secrets to keep. As their bond grows, Joan is inspired by the thrill of her new friend's past and finds herself swept up in a bold and dangerous adventure of Maude's making. Only too late does she begin to question her actions - actions that will spark a wild, and potentially devastating, chain of events.

'A compelling and beautifully written tale of adventure, mystery and love, The English Girl enthralled me from the first page. Set against the exotic backdrop of Arabia, Webb brings her world to life with skill and passion.' Santa Montefiore

'I've loved all Katherine Webb's books and this is a wonderful addition to my collection. After I finished, I found myself missing the searing heat and huge blue skies of the Omani desert.' Kate Riordan

The English Girl.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2017

Verified Purchase

This book seemed awfully dragged out and needlessly long. The descriptions of crossing the desert were actually very underwhelming - I assume they were supposed to let us 'feel' the heat and desperation, but they just felt as if it was writing by numbers. Both Joan and Maud were distinctly unpleasant people, with Joan in particular getting in the way and putting people in danger simply because she wanted to find herself. This book is horribly close to being a pot boiler, and that's a shame, because Ms Webb has written some corkers. Hopefully this one is just a blip on the radar.

Disappointed

I did not realise I had ordered a second-hand book - I thought I'd ordered the £4.99 new paperback.
I received a copy of the book yesterday and quite honestly I would have been ashamed to put it into charity shop bag let alone charge money for it. It is grubby and obviously pages have been turned by someone with dirty fingers.
I like Katherine Webb books and this one may be good but I certainly will not be reading it from this copy.

Won't forget this (background)story!

Loved it!
I even considered buying the real diary of Gertrude Bell, on which this book is sort of based.
Why did I know of Lawrence of Arabia and did not know about Gertrude Bell?..

Oman

Reading about Oman - very enjoyable. Liked the characters, but at times felt the story was very drawn out and slow going.
