What is the Bride of Syleman about.? I cannot find what the book is about |

Here is the info from the dustjacket of The Bride of Suleiman: She sat crosslegged on the carpet in the old merchant's tent, face set and sulky under her mass of fiery hair. She mimicked and mocked the other girls, refusing to speak or even to smile; she tried to ecape twice and once bit the guard's finger to the bone. In short, Khurrem, the Russian slave girl, had little to recommend her in a harem filled with lovely young women each more than willing to do the royal bidding. But the Sultan's elegant wife, Hafise, wanted a skilled needlewoman-- and Kurrem's embroidery was extraordinary.
So begins Khurrem's life in the royal court. She made up her mind to be good and settle down, yet on her very first monring, Khurrem manages to encouter Gulbehar, Suleiman's chief concubine, and insult her in her most vivious tones. Vowing to do better, Khurrem resolves to lose herself in the ever-growing basket of sewing work, in her lessons in the Koran, Arabic, and especially in deportment, and stay out of trouble. And so, when the wise and powerful Hafise finally summons Kuhrrem to her quarters, the Sultana is impressed by her elaborate handiwork, and delighted by Khurrem's refreshingly lively intelligence. Even more importantly, the new Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, is enchanted by this impetuous girl, whose pluck, honesty and warmth set her apart from the other more petulant members of the harem. Indeed, the young, idealistic ruler is so taken with Khurrem that he will offer her the supreme honor of making her his bride.
Filled with dazzling scenes of life during the splendidly opulent Ottoman Empire, The Birde of Suleiman moves from harem to temple, bedchamber to battlefield, the jewels and satins of the Silk Room to the colorful streets of Istanbul.
A tapestry of romance, adventure, conspiracies of generals and intrigues of the court, The Bride of Suleiman is as rich and varied as the intricately patterned emboridery Khurrem herself creates.
This is based on the true story of the Russian slave who becomes the primary wife of Suleiman the Magnificent. I read it just a few weeks ago. Last Edited on: 7/8/08 8:12 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |
