About this listen

A Line in the Sand captures the essence of the Middle East with a richly detailed historical fiction of two lifelong friends - Magnus and Finn - thrown into a sleuthing adventure where mysteries of the Middle East and its people are gradually revealed. Following the trail of clues left by one TE Lawrence - Lawrence of Arabia - the Gentlemen ramble from Europe to the Levant to Arabia as their quest gains momentum, the situation on the ground unwinds, and history repeats itself.

Aided by a discarded artifact and two younger proteges- one Jew, one Arab- the Gentlemen experience a rich tapestry of the Middle East rarely experienced by westerners- locations, customs, food, languages, behaviors, historical perspective. As the treasure is revealed, the listener gains a greater understanding of the meaning of their adventure, and why it must be shared.

What a lovely listen this is (I’m three quarters of the way through). Two friends journey through the Middle East on the trail of their hero, the semi-legendary Lawrence of Arabia. It’s very touching to hear this at a time of so much suffering in Palestinian lands, and also very informative. Spencer and Jones’ love of Middle Eastern history and culture shines through every chapter.

Lovely story with a great heart

As a person who loves historical fiction, I always hope for books to both entertain and educate me. A Line in the Sand transported me back in time, to the middle east in the early 1900's. It was fascinating how the author wove an engrossing story and also explained how some of today's issues got started. I learned a lot about today's struggles, and how they were started or could have been different if only circumstance would have changed back then.

The detailed descriptions found in the story painted such a beautiful picture; the eating scenes specifically had me wanting to find a croissant and preserves to eat.

Listen to this book for the rich story and entertaining characters, and you will also find yourself learning history as well.

Highly entertaining story

This audiobook is a story that follows two friends, Magnus and Finn, who go on an adventure to find clues left by Lawrence of Arabia. They travel from Europe to Arabia, learning a lot about the Middle East along the way. I enjoyed how the book mixes real history with a thrilling story. The two younger characters, one Jewish and one Arab, add a lot to the story and give different viewpoints that make it even more interesting. This helps bring the culture and history of the Middle East to life. The book isn’t just about the adventure; it’s also about understanding the Middle East better. The authors show that we have more in common than we think, even in a place often seen as full of conflict.

I also enjoyed the narration, it is delivered with enthusiasm, clarity, and great pronunciation!

Overall a great listen for anyone who loves history and adventure. It's an exciting journey that teaches you a lot and stays with you after you finish.

The author has done an incredible job of bringing the region to life, offering readers a rare glimpse into its diverse locations, foods, languages, and traditions. This is not just a backdrop for the story but an integral part of the narrative that enhances the reader's understanding and appreciation of the region.

The characters are another highlight of this novel. Magnus and Finn are well-developed, with a deep and genuine friendship that adds emotional depth to their adventure. Their dynamic is further enriched by the addition of two younger proteges—one Jewish, one Arab—whose perspectives and backgrounds add layers of complexity and authenticity to the story. The interactions between these characters are beautifully written, showcasing the potential for unity and cooperation despite cultural differences.
