The fourth novel in Tariq Ali's 'Islam Quintet' charts the life and loves of the medieval cartographer Muhammed al-Idrisi. Torn between his close friendship with the sultan and his attachment to people leaving the island or plotting a resistance to Norman rule, Idrisi finds that the temporary solace of the harem cannot suppress the pangs of a troubled soul.
