Fragility and forgetfulness have left 82-year-old Iris vulnerable and in the care of her manservant, Mahmood. Quiet and claustrophobic, Iris’s house in Cairo is disturbed by the unexpected arrival of her troubled granddaughter, Ruby, who has run away from her family in England to seek solace with the grandmother she hasn’t seen for many years. An unlikely bond arises as Ruby helps Iris document her deteriorating memories of the glittering Cairo of World War Two, a time when she lost her heart to the enigmatic Captain Xan Molyneux – and then lost him to the ravages of war. It is the need to recover Iris’s past and solidify Ruby’s present that leads the two women into terrible danger...
