As mesmerizing as a tale from the lips of Sheherazade, Gazelle traces the story of Elizabeth, a thirteen-year-old American girl whose adolescent passion is awakened in the exotic climate of 1950s Cairo. While her mother–whose beauty and sexual prowess both frighten and fascinate Elizabeth–moves into a hotel to pursue a string of lovers, her father, a historian, loses himself in a world of chess and toy soldiers. Elizabeth’s imagination, primed by an explicit edition of The Arabian Nights, leads her to fantasies about her father’s friend, a gentle, older man named Ramses Ragab, a perfume maker who visits their house regularly to play games of war and who opens her up to the mystery of hieroglyphics and the art of exotic scents.

Excerpt from The Wild Gazelle, Vol. 1 of 3: And Other Tales Her strength lay in her perfect symmetry, which deceived the unpractised eye. But to the keen eye of the sailor, who saw in her breadth of beam, her clean and beautiful run aft, her elongated bow and exquisitely-pro portioned spars, a Splendid specimen of a noble sea-going boat, and such the Wild Gazelle was well-known to be.
