Sailing from the North African port of Tangier to a small, distant
town called Paris are a Jewish merchant, Ben Attar, his two beloved
wives and his Arab partner, Abu Lutfi. They have come for a meeting
with their third partner the widower, Raphael Abulafia who has been
forced to turn his back on their previous trading partnership
because of his new wife's distrust of the dual marriage of Ben
Attar. The latter turns this annual trading voyage into a personal
quest to legitimise his second wife, restore his honour, and,
equally important, to show others the richness and humanity in his
way of life. A.B. Yehoshua has imaginatively recreated a medieval
world (from North Africa to Paris, from Spain to Germany) with its
merchant trade in great depth and sensuous detail. His evocation of
one man's love is lyrical, erotic even.
