Description

As a flight from Dubai comes into London's Heathrow airport and hits turbulence, four people from different corners of the Arab world are thrown together; beautiful, lost Lamis, recently divorced from her wealthy Iraqi husband; Nicholas, an expert at Sotheby's on Islamic daggers; louche and noisy Amira, a Moroccan hidden in a basket. Landing safely they go their separate ways, but from then on they find their lives are intimately entwined. Only In London is a funny, tender and sexy novel that uncovers a unique world in the heart of a big city.
