A Sultan in Palermo (The Islam Quintet, Vol. 4)

The fourth novel in Tariq Aliâ€™s â€˜Islam 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€œA richly woven tapestry that even before its completion merits comparison with Naguib Mahfouzâ€™s Cairo trilogy.â€ Kirkus Reviews
