This is a beautifully researched and written work. It discusses life in a harem, as well as life as a sultan's wife, in a historically accurate manner. It shows the cultural difference between American women and Turkish women, as well as Polynesian and "South Seas" women and English women. It has sweetness and romance. It shows the strength of women. This is a magnificent debut novel. Well done. Amazon reviewer
