À propos de cet audio

 In 17th-century Persia, a 14-year-old woman believes she will be married within the year. When her beloved father dies, she and her mother find themselves alone and without a dowry. With nowhere else to go, they are forced to sell the brilliant turquoise rug the young woman has woven to pay for their journey to Isfahan, where they will work as servants for her uncle, a rich rug designer in the court of the legendary Shah Abbas the Great.

Despite her lowly station, the young woman blossoms as a brilliant designer of carpets, a rarity in a craft dominated by men. But while her talent flourishes, her prospects for a happy marriage grow dim. Forced into a secret marriage to a wealthy man, the young woman finds herself faced with a daunting decision: forsake her own dignity, or risk everything she has in an effort to create a new life.

Bring it back! So sad to see this gone from my library. Shohreh’s voice is hypnotizing and I listened multiple times.

Love it!

Enjoyed this book from the beginning till the end- amazingly written, inspiring novel. This book very well outlines the roles of women, their lives and the culture. The narrator reads with a beautiful Persian accent and that adds much charm to the book. Highly recommended!

great story...

This is an amazing story of what life was like for one particular woman in 1700s Iran. As an artist the colours and artistic development was fascinating as the main character is a rug maker and designer. The narration is superb, her voice and articulation give the story another layer of meaning.

A rich female experience in 1700s Iran
