Childhood for Machamba meant horses, orange groves and her father's encyclopaedias of the ancient world. In London she lives on impulse, sleeping around, with no grasp of how she got there. When she sets out to see the ruins she once read about, in Greece, Turkey, Israel and Egypt, each site brings her nearer to the buried event that turned her life around.
