Caravan Paperback - 1995
by Dorothy Gilman
The bestselling author of the Mrs. Pollifax novels sweeps an intriguing new heroine into a captivating adventure of suspense, romance, and danger. With her anthropologist husband murdered and their caravan stolen, Caressa's choices are few: death by starvation, thirst, or murder, or a life of slavery. Disguised as an Arab boy, she embarks on a dangerous quest for freedom.
First line
IT WAS MUM WHO KEPT TRYING TO MAKE A LADY OF ME through all my growing-up years but it was Grams who taught me her magic tricks and how to be a pickpocket, and of the two of them I have to say that Grams' lessons certainly proved the more valuable to me in my life.
From the jacket flap
"A lushly romantic adventure story set in the North African desert in 1914, told by the impeccable Lady Treal as she reminisces in her London town house about her decidedly peccable past...Well-written, expertly plotted, perfectly paced."
