Penelope Lively provides snapshots of recollection of childhood in Egypt, during the 1930s in a land of canals, palm trees, mud-brick villages and water buffalo, under the ever-watchful eye of her nanny Lucy. Even the second world war did not disrupt her idyll which was finally shattered by adolescence and her parents' divorce.
