Ahmed, J: Every Rising Sun

Autor Jamila Ahmed
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iul 2023
Before she was the legendary Persian queen who spun a thousand tales, Shaherazade was a girl who saw something she shouldn't have.

She told the king.

She thought she was doing what was right.

She couldn't imagine what was to come.

Fear spreads through the city as the king executes his unfaithful wife and, when this doesn't sate his rage, goes on to wed and behead a new woman night after night. Shaherazade must do something, anything, to halt what she has set in motion; not least of all when, aged nineteen, she becomes his next bride. As the sun sets on her wedding night, Shaherazade begins to weave a tale that will go down in history.

If you had to tell one story to save your life, what would it be?

Notă biografică

Jamila Ahmed is a Pakistani-American lawyer and writer whose writing focuses on the stories and histories of the South Asian and Muslim diaspora.

Coming of age during the American wars and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan - and the attendant propaganda about the barbarity of Islam - Jamila wanted to find novels that authentically reflected her experience as a young Muslim woman and the rich complexity of Islamic history. When she couldn't find any, she picked up her pen and began writing Every Rising Sun.

Jamila is a graduate of Barnard College, where she studied medieval Islamic history, and Harvard Law School. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
