THE DARK SIDE OF THE
WORLD by OLIVIA MANNING
During the last war, novelist Olivia Manning was evacuated suddenly from Greece and sent to Cairo. At first she disliked the place, but in time she grew accustomed to it, realising that it was not a day city at all but took on grandeur only with the fall of night. Here she talks about these experiences.
