An Interview with Pauline Gedge

There is a quiet truculence to Pauline Gedge that her initial appearance belies. At 54, she is somehow delicate and voluptuous; soft-spoken and worldly. These are the apparent inconsistencies that one sees in a professional meeting, though are in no way visible in her work. Gedge's books are carefully researched, colorfully executed and have earned her an international following of loyal fans.

Sitting in Penguin's Toronto office on a sleety winter morning, Pauline Gedge is looking forward to a respite. From the publicity grind, from city bustle, and most of all from writing about Egypt. "I'm tired, I'm really tired," she says. "The well is dry. I've worked on this project for three years."
