Review: A wonderful story, and a touching insight into a difficult world of a young woman growing up in Iran in the 1600's. The story is set around a young girl, her family is about to arrange her marriage, when her destiny is altered following a blazing 'bad' comet in the sky. Her father then dies, which leaves her without a dowry, and her mother destitute. They head off to the city to leave with an uncle, where they are treated as servants by his greedy wife, rather than as family members. The young girl show talents as a carpet maker, and starts helping her uncle in his carpet business. But, she is not able to work in the factory alongside the men.."If only you had been a man" he laments. I found it an enthralling read. The author describes the colours of the wools, and patterns in the carpets so well that you can almost see them. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and would highly recommend this book.

Review: The seller was great. Delivered the book very quickly and in good quality. But the book itself was hard to get into. I didn’t finish it.
