In the year 999, when Ben Attar, a Moroccan Jewish merchant, takes
a second wife, he commits an act whose unforeseen consequences will
forever alter his family, his relationships, his business-his life.
In an attempt to forestall conflict and advance his business
interests at the same time, Ben Attar undertakes his annual journey
to Europe with both his first wife and his new wife. The trip is
the beginning of a profound human drama whose moral conflicts of
fidelity and desire resonate with those of our time. Yehoshua
renders the medieval world of Jewish and Christian culture and
trade with astonishing depth and sensuous detail. Through the
trials of a medieval merchant, the renowned author explores the
deepest questions about the nature of morality, character, codes of
human conduct, and matters of the heart.
