She went to Egypt to save her lungs and ended up defending the villagers to the world. Lucie Duff-Gordon spent her last years at Luxor, learned Arabic, was trusted by her neighbours, and wrote home about the taxes, the conscription and the cruelty of the Pasha's rule with an anger nobody had expected of her. The best letters ever written from Egypt, and the truest.
