Exploring themes of exile and assimilation, the narrative intertwines the coming-of-age stories of Lagnado's mother, Edith, in the enchanting old Cairo, and Lagnado's own experiences as an immigrant schoolgirl in 1970s Brooklyn. As she navigates the challenges of adapting to a new culture while aspiring to be a bold figure like Mrs. Emma Peel from The Avengers, Lagnado also recounts her journey as a determined reporter. This poignant memoir reflects on feminism and the deep connections within family amidst the backdrop of cultural displacement.
