A collection of seven tales, whose settings range from Tuscany and Elsinore, to a dhow on its way from Lamu to Zanzibar. It is shot through with themes of love and desire - from the maiden lady who now believes herself to have been the grand courtesan of her time to the Count whose wife is so jealous that she cannot bear him to admire her jewels.
