Sunday Salon - Final Review for Iris and Ruby

As I read and thought about my Grandmother whom I called Nanny, my heart was yearning for the glorious cheese sandwiches she made for me when I slept over.

My relationship with Nanny was not as profound as Ruby's was with Iris. She did not have the past lovers or life setting that living in Cairo, Egypt provided. She also was not a doctor like Iris, but as a kid I thought she was a "healer."

This picture of life that Rosie Thomas so elegantly portrays in a manner that shows the link between two completely different people. There is more depth to the story than a love novel and this attribute leaves you thinking of the noble aspects of life.

Having never been abroad, the description of the beautiful Cairo made me want to be there. It seems as if during and shortly after WWII, Cairo was the place to be!

Wouldn't you like to read Iris and Ruby, I did!
