**By the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2021** 'A careful
and heartfelt exploration of the way memory inevitably consoles and
disappoints us' Sunday Times 'Beautifully written and pleasurable
... The work of a maestro' Guardian 'An absorbing novel about
abandonment and loss' Daily Telegraph
___________________________________ Early one morning in 1899, in a
small town along the coast from Mombasa, Hassanali sets out for the
mosque. But he never gets there, for out of the desert stumbles an
ashen and exhausted Englishman who collapses at his feet. That man
is Martin Pearce - writer, traveller and something of an
Orientalist. After Pearce has recuperated, he visits Hassanali to
thank him for his rescue and meets Hassanali's sister Rehana; he is
immediately captivated. In this crumbling town on the edge of
civilised life, with the empire on the brink of a new century, a
passionate love affair begins that brings two cultures together and
which will reverberate through three generations and across
continents.
