A sweeping fictional biography of two of the most prominent women in the Umayyad Era. Aisha Bint Talha and Sukaina Bint al-Hussein were both from prominent political families in the Caliphate. They were among the first women to hold literary salons in the Middle Ages to welcome nobles, scholars, writers, and poets. This novel reveals the distinct status of Arab and Muslim women in society that enabled them to play a vital role in many political and historical positions.
