A Goodreads user asked Mary Doria Russell:

Have you ever visited Egypt and the Middle East? If so, in what year?

Mary Doria Russell I relied on travelers' memoirs from 1911-1925 but I also had two recent visitors to the region vet my portrayal. There've been earthquakes and serious fires in the decades since Agnes made her trip, so I wanted to be sure I was only having her see and do things that were available to her at the time.
