About this title

Review:

A voice which Europe cannot afford to ignore. (GUARDIAN)

Amin Maalouf weaves tapestries of intrigue that illuminate a broader historical moment... in his engaging prose [he goes] a considerable way towards restoring Mani to us...as eloquent as ever. (THE TIMES)

A romantic and affectionate tale... engaging. (TLS)

A master storyteller... and his observation of human nature in all its facets is wonderfully accurate. (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
