Beneath a Burning Sky is a beautiful and gripping story of love, betrayal and mystery, set against the heat and intrigue of colonial Alexandria. Perfect for fans of Kate Furnivall, Lucinda Riley and Victoria Hislop.

The shores of Alexandria, 1891

Olivia Sheldon has travelled across the world to marry a man she does not love. Reluctant to leave England but coerced into the marriage, Olivia's reward is being reunited with her estranged sister, Clara. Her punishment is falling impossibly and illicitly in love with the enigmatic Captain Edward Bertram.

Then one scorching day Clara is abducted from Alexandria's busiest street. Desperate to find her sister - and the truth about her disappearance - Olivia becomes embroiled in Egypt's shadowy underworld, risking both her life and future with Edward. Because, determined as Olivia is to find Clara, there are others who will stop at nothing to conceal what's become of her....

This is the first book I have listened to by Jenny Ashcroft and I wasn’t disappointed. Really great read that kept you hooked from the beginning to the end.

Really enjoyable

I spent most of this book being annoyed by the helplessness of the characters ~ trapped by race, poverty and gender ~ which seemed never ending. We, and they, are kept in the dark about what is going on, just fed the odd crumb here and there until almost the very end.
This is such a shame because the writing was excellent and the story good, in spite of being frustrating.
The reader had quite a downbeat voice which just made the whole thing more depressing.

Really enjoyed this, especially the setting, the story between Olivia and Edward, and the mystery (it kept me guessing until the end.) Have recommended it to others.

Fantastic

The characters are perfectly drawn, Olivia and Clara’s stories gripped me from the start and I could never have predicted the twists and turns in this emotional and satisfying book. Alexandria lives through the setting. I highly recommend reading or listening to this wonderful story of love and loss.

Wonderful, twisting, epic romance.
