Ruby, driven by her fraught relationship with her own mother to run away from England, is seeking refuge with the grandmother she hasnt seen for years. An unlikely bond develops between them, as Ruby helps Iris to record her fading memories of the glittering, cosmopolitan Cairo of World War Two, and of her one true love the enigmatic Captain Xan Molyneux whom she lost to the ravages of the conflict.
