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 familial burdens
and 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 professor
parents should be a dream trip for the budding art historian. But her
maybe-ex-boyfriend 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.
