'The will of the Lord is just and infallible.

Also, the foreigners know what they're doing.'

A world of veils and delusions. A city in ferment. A battle of empires played out in diplomatic details and back-street brutality.

Marrakech, 1906: the unexpected arrival of a circus to perform for the Sultan seems like an opportunity for European envoy and Moroccan warlord alike, as they manoeuvre for advantage and pursue their private dreams. But something has been unleashed in the labyrinth of market alleys that no one can control, and it threatens chaos, disillusionment and tragedy.

The Sultan's Emu is a bitter fable of colonialism, and an unravelling of the meaning of story itself.
