Caravan: A Novel

“A lushly romantic adventure story
set in the North African desert in 1914, told by the impeccable Lady
Treal as she reminisces in her London town house about her decidedly
peccable past . . . Well-written, expertly plotted, perfectly paced.”—Newsday

With
her anthropologist husband murdered and their caravan stolen by fierce
Tuareg tribesmen, Caressa has two choices: death or a life of slavery.
Concealing her dangerous beauty beneath the faded robes of an Arab boy,
she embarks on the adventure of her life, harassed by vicious nomads,
slave traders and the envious witch doctor, Isa. Only a handful of
carnival magic tricks stands between her and oblivion. Then she
discovers an inner magic so mysteriously compelling that the desert
people call her a sorceress. . . .
“Sheer reading pleasure.”—Publishers Weekly
