Publisher's Note Nineteenth-century Sudan, wracked by religious, cultural, and political differences, is brilliantly evoked in the most ambitious book yet by this talented novelist.
Industry Reviews "From the outset, the novel mounts an assault on the senses....It is a novel which captures Africa, the fluidity of the desert and its inhabitants in close kinship with their surroundings....[T]he reader's reaction is likely to be a grim one--a profound awareness that man refuses to learn from history, because he is blind to the guises in which it repeats itself." Times Literary Supplement - Katharine Elliott (02/28/1997)
