The time is 1967, just prior to the Six Day War between Israel and Egypt, and the setting is Cairo. The characters are an ill-assorted bunch of British ex-pats whose complicated and extended relationships bring comic relief to a tense scenario before the outbreak of the war. 'Haylock is an accomplished teller of anecdotes, with a well mannered, wholly engaging humour and intelligence' - Spectator 'Haylock makes promiscuity sound almost genteel...A little gem' - Sunday Telegraph 'Highly diverting' - Gay Times
