Product Description:
Cultures clash when a young Virginia plantation belle is loved by a dashing aristocratic Frenchman and his nearly exact oposite, a mysterious, noble but rough-edged Tuareg chieftain of the desert. This masterfully told story takes place in exotic and diverse locals such as London; the tents of nomadic tribes; the decadent, intrigue-filled Turkish kasbah at Algiers, and the beauitiful but cruel desert called Sahara.

The 'noble' savage may be less savage than the people calling him that.
