1956. Alexandria is sinking into chaos.

As the world he knows dissolves into the fires of the Suez Crisis, British literature professor Alistair Delmer makes a desperate escape to the island of Malta. But he does not travel alone. With him is his young daughter, Miranda, whose innocence is the only thing keeping his own world from shattering.

In the unfamiliar, sun-drenched stillness of Malta, Alistair finds himself wrestling with more than just the displacement of exile. Haunted by memory and heavy with grief, he must navigate the delicate responsibility of comforting a child too young to grasp the true meaning of loss. Through the lens of the books he loves and the daughter he cherishes, Alistair begins a journey of quiet farewells and unexpected renewal.

Miranda is a poignant and atmospheric novel of fatherhood, the power of literature to heal, and the enduring hope found in the wake of historical upheaval.
