In a Cairo clinic, Ronny recovers from gender-affirming surgery. Her grandmother, mother and then Ronny herself sift through their pasts in search of what has led to this radical self-transformation. From decades of Home Counties respectability emerge buried family secrets - of hidden love, thwarted hopes and desires, stifled by conformity and the bonds of duty from which Ronny has broken free.

Now with an Introduction, written by Dr Kit Heyam, author of 'Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender.'
