Overview:
Stifling quiet and claustrophobic, Iris Black's house in old Cairo is disturbed by the unexpected arrival of her troubled and willful granddaughter, Ruby. Laboring under a fraught relationship with her family, Ruby has run away from England to seek solace with the grandmother she hasn't seen for many years. An unlikely bond arises between them as Ruby helps Iris recall the glittering, cosmopolitan Cairo of World War Two, a time when she lost her heart to her one true love - the enigmatic Captain Xan Molyneux - and then lost him to the ravages of the war. This early devastation of Iris's heart shapes her life as well as that of her daughter and granddaughter. And it is the need to recover Iris's past and solidify Ruby's present that leads the two women into terrible danger.
