In this book, Michael Jacobs follows the trail of the Moors of Spain, exiled from their last kingdom of Granada in 1492. This extraordinary journey takes in ruins and discos in Andalucia, masseurs and literary lions in Morocco, before finishing in the mud mosques of Timbuktu, where families still keep the key to the house in Granada that they 500 years ago. On the way Jacobs conjures up a cast of irrepressibly alluring adulterers, louche fixers, kings, professors, poets, cobblers, and voyagers, in a kaleidoscope of fiction, history, journey, and imagination.
