Description
In 17th-century Persia, a young woman's life is irrevocably altered when her father's death leaves her without a dowry, forcing her into servitude. She finds herself in the opulent court of Shah Abbas the Great, under the employ of her uncle, a renowned rug designer. Her exceptional weaving skills, a source of pride and potential, soon become a double-edged sword, navigating the intricate politics and hidden dangers of the royal court. This novel masterfully explores themes of resilience, artistry, and the constraints placed upon women in a patriarchal society, all set against a richly detailed historical backdrop.
