It revolves around the character David Claridge and his experiences navigating life in Cairo, Egypt, during a period rife with personal and political turbulence. The narrative intertwines his past in England with his present circumstances in Egypt, exploring themes such as identity, duty, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of the second volume introduces us to a letter from Faith Claridge, David's relative, detailing significant developments back in England, including the return of Jasper Kimber and the enigmatic chair-maker Soolsby. David is deeply affected by Faith's news, and he reflects on his own journey as he rides through the bustling streets of Cairo. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the socio-political landscape of the time, with descriptions of the laborers, government officials, and cultural backdrop of Cairo. As David grapples with his troubled past, he confronts a pivotal moment when he rescues an English girl, Hylda Maryon, from danger, unknowingly linking their fates in a tragic turn of events. This sequence sets off a chain of introspection and moral questioning for David, who feels the weight of his actions in a foreign land amid the turbulent currents of history.
