This is the story of one man's odyssey - a journey both spiritual and physical and which shifts across perspectives, time and geography. This is an epic novel that weaves fable and tradition in an intricate tracery of the imagination. Its protagonist, Mohammed Khan, experiences different ages, cultures and countries, yet remains firmly rooted within tradition. It is also a parable of nationhood and a sharp and powerful satire on politics, political expediency and the inevitable corrupting effect of power.
