1833 Based on the real-life journals and letters of James Raymond Wellsted, the first European to cross the Rubh Al Khali desert in the year that slavery was outlawed in British territory.

‘An excellent novel set in Arabia in the mid 1800s. The contrast of eastern and western culture is very well portrayed. Written in the present tense to give the narrative an immediacy and pace … it’s an action packed tale. The subject matter is not frivolous and Sara Sheridan shows that she is a great story teller as she takes us through the pages. A great read.’
