A Sultan in Palermo: A Novel (The Islam Quintet)

The fourth novel in Tariq Aliâ‚¬s â‚¬ËœIslam Quintetâ‚¬ charts the life and loves of the medieval cartographer Muhammed al-Idrisi. Torn between his close friendship with the sultan and his friends who are leaving the island or plotting a resistance to Norman rule, Idrisi finds temporary solace in the harem; but his conscience is troubled...

A Sultan in Palermo is a mythic novel in which pride, greed, and lust intermingle with resistance and greatness. It echoes a past that can still be heard today.

Praise for the Islam Quintet:

â‚¬Å“A richly woven tapestry that even before its completion meritscomparison with Naguib Mahfouzâ‚¬s Cairo trilogy.â‚¬Â Kirkus Reviews
