Product Description
Issa knows the desert better than any other human being. Travellers pay him handsomely to guide them safely through the landscape. Yet on the day this is to change his life for ever, Issa and his donkey are alone - until they come upon the riderless camel and its precious cargo: a baby hidden in a basket.Years later, the child Mariama goes everywhere with Issa. And when Issa begins to go blind, Mariama becomes his eyes, using words to describe what he cannot see. But will this satisfy Scarface and Hawknose, the strangers who come to the house seeking a guide on their dangerous journey through the Bitter Mountains? And who is the young traveller who accompanies them?
