Description: The death of Tom Riley's wife has left him "tilting, out of balance." He travels to Mexico, where they honeymooned, as a pilgrimage to love's memory. An American writer, herself an expatriate escaping from her painful past, befriends him, sensing that he has a story to tell. "Change the plot," she advises. "Introduce new characters.".

A fanciful tale of love's charms and an illustration of the mystical in an ordinary man, A Chance to See Egypt is a novel that proves that the story we choose to tell is the life we choose to live.
