Comments: A story of a mapmaker in Cairo during WWII. I had to take this slow, but it was worth it for the rich detail and history. The way the author brought the city to life through the markets and dust and heat is awe-inspiring, as is the amount of research that went into this.

“In his days Cambridge was a place of stasis and unchange. To Remus it seemed a strange city, completely at odds with the first London of his boyhood and the later London of his adult life—a city where hunger and thirst were the unknown needs of an unknown class, and desire a taxidermied beast shorn of fur and fang. And yet, paradoxically, the same becalmed and parochial Cambridge had set in motion his eternal unrest, had summoned in its courts and streets the life-long cast of characters he would live with and love with—had taught him not only the axioms and theorems of Hilbert but also the boundless private empire.”

Comments: Breathtakingly gorgeous, from the Cambridge aesthetics to the blossoming relationship. Full of historical detail, lush descriptions, and wonderful illustrations. I don’t even know what else to say, except that I will never get over the sheer beauty of this fic.
