- Summary
- In 1899 in a small town along the coast from Mombasa, Hassanali sets out for the mosque, but he never gets there. Out of the desert stumbles an Englishman who collapses at Hassanali's feet. That man is Martin Pearce - writer, traveller and something of an Orentalist. Hassanali takes him to recuperate at the house of a colonial official, Frederck Turner. When Martin goes to thank Hassanali for his rescue, he meets Hassanali's sister and immediately falls in love with her. This passionate love affair brings two cultures together and will reverberate through three generations and across continents.
