Sinopse
Early one morning in 1899, in a small town along the coast from Mombassa, Hassanali sets out for the mosque. But that morning he never gets there, for out of the desert stumbles an Englishman who collapses at his feet. The man is Martin Pearce; writer, traveller and something of a colonial official. When he visits Hassanali to thank him for his rescue, he meets his sister Rehana and is immediately fascinated by her beautiful eyes and her air of tragedy. 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 unites two cultures and will reverberate through three generations and across continents.
