A sensuous and richly-imagined historical novel that centers on a
skilled young carpet weaver, her arranged marriage, and her quest
for self-determination in 17th-century Persia. In 17th-century
Iran, a 14-year-old woman believes she will be married within the
year. But 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.
