Every night a beautiful woman is chosen to lay with the caliph of Baghdad only to be executed at sunrise. A thousand years ago, Scherezade saved her life by her gift of storytelling in The Arabian Nights, now; this book reinvents the fascination with this classic tale. It recreates her days in the palace and the feelings and emotions of a woman dedicated to an art where to lose track of a story means losing her life. Through the accounts of the narrator, we become participants of her story, struggles and the story of the palace.
