An Englishman's pilgrimage into Sufi shrines reveals the enduring dignity and eccentricity of sacred devotion.

Saints of Sind is an exploration of the mystical Sufi shrines and hereditary saints of Pakistan's Indus valley. Half anthropological quest, it is also half the pilgrimage of an Englishman determined to immerse himself in the ways of a dervish seeking the ultimate truth. Peter Mayne has an antennae-like ear for language, catching the hidden nuances of a phrase, and a rumbunctious delight in responding to chance encounters. He treats each human with dignity but always delights in the bizarre and the eccentric, now and then catching hold of moments of sublimity. He is an addictively inventive and brilliant writer - witty, shrewd and wise.
