Details
by Dora Levy Mossanen (Author)
This "richly feminist fable" (Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, New York Times bestselling author) vividly whisks us to Persia's gorgeous bazaars and dangerous alleys of the city and palace chambers brimming with conspiracy and betrayal--as well as love and redemption.
A seductive and intriguing journey from the humble Persian Jewish quarter to the fascinating world of shahs, soothsayers, eunuchs, and sultanas, Harem follows three generations of strong-willed and cunning women: Rebekah--a poor girl married to the abusive blacksmith--who emerges from her disastrous match with a mysterious brand between her breasts; Gold Dust, Rebekah's treasured daughter, who enters the opulent and perilous world of the harem and captivates the shah with her singing bones; and Gold Dust's daughter, the revered and feared albino princess Raven, who will one day rule the empire. "A combination of fairy tale, fantasy, and romance novel" (Library Journal), Harem will stay with you long after you turn the final page.Author Biography
