Its 1915 and sixteen-year-old Australian, Flora Wentworth, is visiting Cairo with her archaeologist father for their annual sojourn, assisting with digs and mixing with the elite at social gatherings. Flora and her friend Gwen are swept up with the headiness of it all, but are soon thrown into the horrendous reality of war. Flora watches with growing alarm as first a trickle and then a flood of wounded soldiers are shipped into the city from Gallipoli, along with nurses and doctors.

Pamela Rushby lives in Brisbane with her husband, son and six visiting scrub turkeys. Pam has worked in advertising; as a pre-school teacher; and as a writer and producer of educational television, audio and multimedia. She has won several awards, including a Literature Board of the Australia Council grant to work on archaeological excavations in Egypt and Jordan; a Churchill Fellowship to study educational television in Canada; the Ethel Turner Prize in the NSW Premier's Literary Awards; and a bag of gold coins at a film festival in Iran. Pams latest novel for young adults is Lizzie and Margaret Rose (2016). Her website is www.pamelarushby.com
