<DIV><DIV><b>The Islam Quintet concludes with a powerful portrait of life and love</b></div><DIV>Tariq Ali&rsquo;s epic quintet, which began on the streets of medieval Granada, culminates in present day with <i>Night of the Golden Butterfly</i>. The story darts between the past and present of Dara, a Lahore-born writer who now lives in London. Dara is called back to his homeland by an old friend, the hot-tempered and mysterious Plato, who, at seventy-five, has finally fallen in love. Dara is to help Plato&rsquo;s newfound inamorata to write a book about his friend&rsquo;s life.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Dara retraces not only Plato&rsquo;s steps but also his own, meeting old friends across the world as they retread the paths of their lives. <i>Night of the Golden Butterfly </i>is a gorgeous and lyrical capstone that finds heart and humor in the passage of time, the practice of reconciliation, and the irresistible draw of home.</div><BR></div>
