ამ აუდიოწიგნის შესახებ
Told in alternating narratives that bridge centuries, the latest novel from New York Times bestselling
author Samira Ahmed traces the lives of two young women fighting to write their own stories and escape
the pressure of cultural expectations in worlds too long defined by men.
It’s August in Paris and 17-year-old Khayyam Maquet—American, French, Indian, Muslim—is at a crossroads.
This holiday with her parents should be a dream trip for the budding art historian. But her maybe-exboyfriend is probably ghosting her, she might have just blown her chance at getting into her dream college,
and now all she really wants is to be back home in Chicago figuring out her messy life instead of brooding in
the City of Light.
Two hundred years before Khayyam’s summer of discontent, Leila is struggling to survive and keep her
true love hidden from the Pasha who has “gifted” her with favored status in his harem. In the present day—and
with the company of a descendant of Alexandre Dumas—Khayyam begins to connect allusions to an enigmatic
19th-century Muslim woman whose path may have intersected with Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix, and
Lord Byron.
Echoing across centuries, Leila and Khayyam’s lives intertwine, and as one woman’s long-forgotten life is
uncovered, another’s is transformed.
