Interspersed with the testimony of the early medieval calligrapher who created the Blue Manuscript, this title builds into a tapestry of human love, hope, despair, greed, fear and betrayal.
The Blue Manuscript is the ultimate prize for any collector of Islamic treasures. But does it still exist, and if so, can it be found? In search of answers to these questions, an assortment of archaeologists heads for a remote area of Egypt, where they work with local villagers to excavate a promising site. Interspersed with the testimony of the early medieval calligrapher who created the Blue Manuscript, Sabiha Al Khemir’s subtle, graceful narrative builds into a rich tapestry of love, hope, despair, greed, fear and betrayal. Intensified at every turn by the uneasy relationship between Islam past and present, and between Islam and the West, <i>The Blue Manuscript</i> is a novel which will resonate long after the astonishing solution to its mystery has finally been revealed.
