Rossant's story eventually travels full circle, bringing the reader back to the city that was to be so influential in her life, and the people who inhabited it. The heritage of her grandparents, and her childhood home in Egypt, lives on in her own children, and grandchildren. It also lives on in the wonderful recipes that are scattered throughout her story. Rossant's life has been a wonderful, enriching journey for the reader as much as for the author.

Commencing in the great city of Istanbul, the route now travels through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India and finally reaches the Nepali capital of Kathmandu.
