Notes:

• Set in 12th-century Europe and Palestine, this novel chronicles the spiritual and geographic journeys of David Ibn Jesse, a Jew born in Muslim Spain. To escape persecution, he flees first to France, where he converts to Christianity, then to Rome. When he is captured by Muslims at sea, he becomes a follower of the Muslim leader Saladin, and he seeks advice from the Jewish philosopher Maimonides. The novel is a spiritual odyssey David moves from Judaism to Christianity to Islam, and finally to his own personal view of the divine.
