520    In 1850, Florence, daughter of a prominent English family,
       sets sail on the Nile chaperoned by longtime family 
       friends and her maid, Trout. To her family's chagrin--and 
       in spite of her wealth, charm, and beauty--she is, at 
       twenty-nine and of her own volition, well on her way to 
       spinsterhood. Meanwhile, Gustave and his good friend 
       Maxime Du Camp embark on an expedition to document the 
       then largely unexplored monuments of ancient Egypt. 
       Traumatized by the deaths of his father and sister, and 
       plagued by mysterious seizures, Flaubert has dropped out 
       of law school and written his first novel, an effort 
       promptly deemed unpublishable by his closest friends. At 
       twenty-eight, he is an unproven writer with a failing 
       body. Florence is a woman with radical ideas about society
       and God, naive in the ways of men. Gustave is a notorious 
       womanizer and patron of innumerable prostitutes. But both 
       burn with unfulfilled ambition.
