About the book
Europe, 1927. Leila Zohdi is twenty-six, has perhaps four years of tennis left, and has been invited to play a circuit that is open only to people who do not need to be paid. The amateur rule forbids her expenses, a passage, a coach, a hotel bill settled by somebody else — and everybody on that circuit runs on exactly those arrangements and nobody survives being caught at them. Adham Sirry has spent nine years being the acceptable Egyptian in European clubhouses and knows precisely what the machine costs, because he paid it. She has an opinion about his career after eleven days. He has watched three players do this and go home.
