A schoolteacher still reeling from the tragedies of the Great War and the influenza epidemic travels to the Middle East in this memorable and passionate novel"Marvelous . . . a stirring story of personal awakening set against the background of a crucial moment in modern history."--The Washington Post
Agnes Shanklin, a forty-year-old schoolteacher from Ohio, has come into a modest inheritance that allows her to take the trip of a lifetime to Egypt and the Holy Land. Arriving at the Semiramis Hotel just as the 1921 Cairo Peace Conference convenes, she is freed for the first time from her mother's withering influence and finds herself being wooed by a handsome, mysterious German. At the same time, Agnes--with her plainspoken American opinions--is drawn into the company of Winston Churchill, T. E. Lawrence, and Lady Gertrude Bell, who will, in the space of a few days, redraw the world map to create the modern Middle East. As they change history, Agnes too will find her own life transformed forever. With prose as graceful and effortless as a seductive float down the Nile, Mary Doria Russell illuminates the long, rich history of the Middle East with a story that brilliantly elucidates today's headlines.

Cool, Fluffy, and Excellent Value
Color: Classic White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I recently got the Utopia Bedding Queen Size Bed Pillows (set of 2), and they’ve quickly become my favorite pillows for a good night’s sleep.
Right out of the package, they fluffed up nicely and feel soft yet supportive. The down alternative filling gives a plush, comfortable feel without being too firm or too flat, and the gusseted design adds extra support for back, stomach, or side sleeping. I’ve tried them in all positions, and they hold up well without collapsing overnight.
Another big plus is that they stay cool while I sleep. Even during warmer nights, I don’t feel overheated, which makes a huge difference in comfort. The pillow covers are smooth and feel like hotel-quality fabric, giving the bed a clean, luxurious look.
The only minor thing is that they may take a little time to reach full fluffiness after the first wash, but that’s normal for down alternative pillows.
Overall, these are soft, supportive, and high-quality pillows at a great price. They’ve improved my sleep noticeably, and I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a comfortable, versatile pillow set

I am beyond impressed with these pillows! They are incredibly soft and fluffy with a high-quality outer shell, easily some of the best pillows I have ever purchased. Not only do they provide amazing support with absolutely no neck pain, but the customer service went above and beyond to help me resolve an issue.

Too firm
Color: Classic White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are good quality but are firm. They also are 90% feathers, which makes them feel “crunchy”
