Synopsis

In 1897 Isabelle Eberhardt, aged twenty, left an unconventional life in Geneva for Kenadsa, at the Moroccan frontier. Gripped by spiritual restlessness and a desire to transcend boundaries, she travelled into the desert, into the heart of Islam. This book follows her. Courage and hunger for authenticity led her into totally unfamiliar territory: she was captivated by the Sahara and its inhabitants, but the same sense of adventure led her also on an interior journey, where lay the true goal for her search. She wrote, 'For me it seems that by advancing into unknown territories, I enter into my life.'
