Explanation As Books Equal of the Sun

Iran in 1576 is a place of wealth and dazzling beauty. But when the Shah dies without having named an heir, the court is thrown into tumult. Princess Pari, the Shah’s daughter and protégée, knows more about the inner workings of the state than almost anyone, but her maneuvers to instill order after her father’s sudden death incite resentment and dissent. Pari and her closest adviser, Javaher, a eunuch able to navigate the harem as well as the world beyond the palace walls, possess an incredible tapestry of secrets that explode in a power struggle of epic proportions.

Legendary women—from Anne Boleyn to Queen Elizabeth I to Mary, Queen of Scots—changed the course of history in the royal courts of England. While they are celebrated, few people know of the powerful and charismatic women in the Muslim world. Based loosely on Princess Pari Khan Khanoom, Equal of the Sun is a riveting story of political intrigue that brings one extraordinary woman to light. Anita Amirrezvani is a master storyteller, and her lustrous prose brings to life this rich and labyrinthine world with a stunning cast of characters—passionate and brave men and women who defy or embrace their destiny in a Machiavellian game played by those who lust for power and will do anything to attain it.

Write Up About Books Equal of the Sun

'Equal of the Sun' was a surprisingly enjoyable read. Although set in a time and place far from what I know, I quickly became enmeshed in the characters' world. Ms. Amirrezvani has a true talent for transporting her reader; I luxuriated in the opulence of the palace, I felt the heat of the spices in the food. And, even more importantly for myself, I wasn't able to predict the ending of the book easily. The novel is described as a surprising story of the depth of friendship between an Iranian

Somehow forgot to list and review this after I read it in 2014. I loved The Language of Flowers so was open to anything the author would write. It is an exotic tale, virtually A Thousand and One Arabian Nights sumptuously framed around biographical fiction of Persia in its cultured and educated history.

All things considered, three stars is a pretty good rating for me here. This book is beautifully written. I dont think its overly written, as one reviewer suggested, its just that if youre going to set a novel in a time and place where poetry was the national pastime, things are probably going to get a little flowery. In that respect, I think its just right. Personally, I prefer Amirrezvanis earlier book, The Blood of Flowers. The body count was easier for me to handle.That really is my problem.

I had a really hard time getting through this book. The historical aspects are interesting, so you learn what life was like in Iran hundreds of years ago. The way it's written makes it hard to feel like any of the characters are real. Not that the writing is bad, just dry and totally unemotional.Won through Good Reads.

This story takes place (mostly) in the palace of the Shah of Iran back in the 16th century and is told in the first person by a eunuch named Javaher. First person narration, imo, always makes a story feel more intimate and that intimacy is definitely realized in Equal of the Sun.I wanted to show this beautiful Audible tapestry cover because it more clearly conveys the richness of the story. Vivid details of tapestries and rugs and clothing and accessories really paint a complete picture of



Full disclosure: I won this through GoodReads giveaways, and received an ARC. The finished novel will be published in June, and the ARC instructed me not to quote as the text may differ from the published edition. I doubt it but have abided by those requirements.We delve straight into the story from the first page, in the first scene alone Amirrezvani utilises show-dont-tell to establish our first impressions of Pari and Javahers characters, and the writing is good. The first scene flows
